I emailed FiberFortress, specifying 1 or 2 3U servers. He replied
with a half rack quote at $550. Still waiting for a response to
my second query.
I'm curious - why do you need your own hardware at a colo site
instead of just renting a VPS?
If you want a VPS inside Canada, the biggest player (with,
apparently, really good support) is
OVH.com. Well, at least
until/unless Quebec secedes, at which point whether they're "in
Canada" or not depends on where the border gets drawn :-). They'll
also colocate your servers.
Also with a good reputation is Blackbridge
(
http://www.blackbridge.com/networks/facilities/location.html).
However, keep in mind that $50/month for 3U of colo rack space is
actually a really good deal... one I don't think you'll be able to
match in Canada, at least not at reputable establishments. (I mean,
seriously, you could put your server in my rack for $50/month, but I
can only guarantee you about 10Mbps symmetric right now.)
