<div>Matt,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe Micron21 are doing a dark pair from M1 to ME1 for $300ex a month. This makes it a lot more competitive, $1500 is way to rich for such a short path.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are in 55 Crockford, NextDC and Equinix, you wouldn't be disappointed ed by Equinix.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Our options are setting up in M2 Telecom at King Street because of the connectivity abundance (most providers are available within M2), but the caveat is that it’s a very old site. The other option we have is choosing Equinix ME1 which
is a brand new site but nobody seems to be really established in this site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have received quotes for a pair of dark fibre connecting Next DC M1 to M2 or ME1 and it’s the same price of $1,500.00 per month so from what I can tell there is no real benefit in choosing either site as it’s the same price.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How many people are considering setting up a POP into Equinix ME1 and has anyone done a risk assessment on it being so close to Next DC M1? The deciding factor I think will be who is and who won’t be in Equinix ME1 for us, so we would love
to hear any opinions.<o:p></o:p></p>
