They have fire suppression now? Last time I was there they still didn't have
that, nor the extra cooling[1] they needed in.
>24x7 on-site support
Decent, RapidSwitch/49Pence's office's are in BlueSquare so they are just
over the road (Well, across the car park)

I can't offer anything with their bandwidth/power and such due to only being
based in London[2] (they are cheap for that/use cheap for that) but on the
whole aside from when BlueSquare breaks (Had a number of fibre outages[3])
RapidSwitch/49Pence are reasonable, provide reasonable service and at a
reasonable price.
Kind Regards,

[1] At one point the Datafloors were running at a nice toasty 30oC+
[2] TelecityGroup/Redbus kill people with their power price's now too which
is why a lot of people moved to Bluesquare
[3] Part of their fibre was dealt with by the people I used to work for at
that time, we had to fix it :)
