I got a quote from init7.net for $400 for the 1u equipment and 5 mbps, or $300 for 2 mbps. sent this quote? Nevermind. We sell 5 MBps for CHF 450.00 including 5 Units of rackspace. This equals USD 357 (currently appx. 1 USD = 1.26 CHF). Excluding 7.6% VAT. 2 MBps including 5 Units of rackspace are CHF 333.00, equals USD 264, excluding 7.6% VAT. In Vienna, Austria, we pay EUR 260 for 3 units of rackspace, no IP feed. Equals USD 330. I think prices in Zurich are not considerably higher then elsewhere in Europe, even though our cost of living are the highest in Europe (except probably in London). We don't sell one single unit, since the expenditure of time is the same. Also unattended 24/7 access is included, if required. We can help out with remote hands, too. Of course, for higher bandwidth commit we can do a much better price per Mbps. Is this a reasonable cost of doing business in switzerland, or am I Layer One http://www.layer-one.ch/ is the most economically priced datacenter in Zurich and subburbs.
