We started with telecom. Internet, phone, and IT bills. We got good at it.
But clients kept sending us something else. Colocation invoices. The bill you pay to keep your servers in a data center.
So we looked. And the same problems were there. Overpriced lines. Fees nobody explains. Renewal quotes built to catch you off guard.
Today we cut colocation bills too.
Why colocation looks a lot like telecom
A colocation invoice is not that different from a Comcast bill. It has about a dozen lines. Some of them move every year. Most people never read past the total.
The tools are the same, so the fix is the same. Our AI reads your invoice line by line. It knows what fair looks like in your market. Then our team makes the calls.
We charge you a flat fee, or 25 percent of what we save you, depending on the engagement. Same as telecom. We never add a carrier fee to your bill.
The lines we go after first
Three lines carry most of the fat.
Cross connects. This is the cable that links your rack to a carrier or another customer. It should cost a small amount. In some data centers it does not. A single cross connect can run $300 a month when the fair range is far lower. If you have ten of them, that adds up fast.
Power. You pay for the power you draw, but the meter is not always clean. Some contracts bill you for power you reserved and never used. Others tack on a fee for cooling that should be baked into the rate. We check the draw against what you signed.
Escalators. This is the sneaky one. Your rate goes up a set amount every year, written into the contract. A 3 percent escalator sounds small. Over a five year term it is not. We push to cap it or strip it out.
A real example
We reviewed a colocation renewal for a firm in Chicago. Two cabinets, a few cross connects, and a power commit they never hit.
The renewal quote raised their rate and kept a 3 percent escalator baked in. Standard move. The window to fight it was 90 days out , and they almost missed it.
We pulled the power draw. They were paying for a commit they used about half of . The cross connect lines were priced above their market. We took the renewal back to the provider with the numbers.
They landed 22 percent under the quoted renewal . The escalator got capped. That is real money, every month, for the length of the term.
Renewals are where they get you
Colocation contracts work like telecom contracts. The renewal is built to catch you asleep.
Miss the window and you roll into another term at a higher rate. The escalator does its job. The overpriced cross connects stay overpriced.
Put your end date in your calendar the day you sign. Then start the review 90 days out . That is the window where the provider has room to move.
What to send us
Same as telecom. Send us your last invoice. If you have a renewal quote in hand, send that too.
Our AI flags the lines worth fighting in about a minute. Then we tell you which ones are a phone call, which ones are a letter, and which ones wait for the renewal clock.
You do not need to know what fair looks like. That is our job. You just need the bill.
