Only problem with FDC is they like to null route for up to 24 hours without reason. You can get your server back online in that time but whose to say you will be awake when they do.
I've had dedicated GBit with them and they even null routed that multiple times a month. I believe they have quite an oversold network, even with paying for a full Gbit line I couldn't get more than 700MBps without getting shut off.
However I will say that they cost half as much as the competition. Quadranet is charging $1300 when I was only paying $700 at FDC.
