Level 3's one of the worst, they just assume if you can open the
front/side door you can go anywhere. I guess it's trying to get the
balance right where you have the access you need while making things secure.
Guess thats where the headache is.
Interxion Brick Lane is reasonable, they have security patrol's who know
exactly where your meant to be and if your not in the right place you
get a 101 questions as to why. Getting in in the first place is a pain
though. I guess that's not really practical somewhere like Telehouse due
to the size and amount of people that go in there.
Oh and I ment to say "9 out of 10 times" not 19... Damn typos.
(On a side note I do think Redbus Sov's eye scanner is an amsuing waste
of time and money... Don't think I have ever seen that working properly)
