Sounds a great idea - although I think you explained it perfectly! Who is 
your supplier? What you may not realise is that people like Colt, 
Worldcom/Verizon etc. themselves offer colocation in datacentres and usually 
you pay a much much lower charge for receiving E1 links when taking up such 
a feature.

You'd be welcome to co-locate with us in Telehouse Docklands, take internet 
service from us, and maybe deal direct with your existing operator for the 
E1s (for your own interest, give them a call and check pricing from them to 
Telehouse) if you'd like? (drop us an email at sales at magrathea-telecom.co.uk 
if you'd like to explore that)
