Thats a serious understatement :(

Cost hikes are in the rediculous side of crazy.  What is really needed is
for a conglomerant or other large business to realise there is a nice bit
of money to be made in datacentre space given how little of it is left
right now.  TC/R's pricing scheme has reached the nonsense stage, with
price hikes so far above inflation, demand and actual running costs.  Our
datacenter manager has apparently been having major disagreements with
TC/R alongside colleagues from other companies about the prices they're
trying to charge for space.
TC's First Line Support charges are interesting too, a whopping £120
p/hour with a minimum one hour charge.  Give tne FLS pretty much just to
reboots and maybe taking CDs out of servers; £120 p/hour is nuts.
We can but hope for common sense to prevail. (yeah.. right)
