I used a colo once a few years ago at a small datacenter in the midwest, I was shocked at how unprofessional everything was, machines laying in the hallway, a guy was sleeping in one of the offices. They let me setup my server and was left unattended several times, I could have just poked the power button on a nearby server or moved a cable or whatever. It was a 1.5 hour drive away, and I wasn't running anything serious so I just went with it but pulled my stuff out after my 1 year subscription was up.
