I'll definately second this nomination.  Last place I worked used to 
rent a partial
rack cabinet at EasyStreet.  The facility is clean and comfortable.  The 
network
connectivity and support staff are excellent.  Admittedly, the final 
clincher was
EasyStreet's location.  The former company was located out at Cornelius 
Pass Rd
and Sunset Hwy, and I live only a couple of miles (max.) from 
EasyStreet.  For
planned work, it was quicker than going all the way downtown.  And, if there
had been any midnight calls (there wasn't), I wouldn't even have to get 
on a freeway.

If you use EasyStreet for any other services, and need a co-lo, you 
certainly
want to consider their place.
