Just a heads-up: I spoke with US Internet about this a month ago... the rent is 20% higher at the 511 building than it is at their Minnetonka colo... And on top of that with the new stadium, the concerns of the fiber being breached... I'd rather put my gear in MTKA than DTMpls - even if the fiber is breached and thus Minnesota completely loses internet... I'm leery of the construction site. For those of you who do not know the new Vikings stadium will actually sit on top of the 511 building and the entirety of Minnesota's high speed internet service runs through this building. If you think the semi-annual cutting of the fiber to the North Shore is bad (and the loss of 911 service for 24-96 hours) this would be FAR worse. Moving the 511's fiber run would take 3-5 years and cost upwards of $10,000,000,000. That's a lot of fusion splicing that could go very wrong. I'm concerned, not worried, that something will go very, very wrong. On 6/24/2013 7:53 AM, B-o-B De Mars wrote: > I recommend the 511 building in downtown Minneapolis.
