This review is related to their data center services specifically. On the whole, this business is…read morewell done. I manage equipment in many of the big data centers, including Equinix (San Jose), Digital Realty, 365Main (San Francisco), MAE-West, Switch/NAP7 & Information Sciences Institute. Nobody has quite the extent of security I've seen in Northborough although 'Switch' data center in Las Vegas is a close 2nd. SECURITY = INCONVENIENCE/FRUSTRATION: That security comes at a price. Iron Mountain mandates a background check be completed before customers can have access to the datacenter without an escort. Escorts are only available weekdays from roughly 7am eastern time until 4pm eastern time. Accessing your equipment outside of those hours will incur a charge since they have to obtain an on-call "smart hands" staffer to come serve as your shadow. The people at the Northborough facility who act as chaperones are quite nice and they're even willing to help you with cabling & lifting as you setup your racks. Pro tip to new co-lo customers: be aggressive about completing the Background Investigation or it'll take months to get unescorted data center access. Iron Mountain does not track your background app process. Urge them to send you their documents and fill them out immediately. You must fill out a Word Doc followed by an on-line application. Once those are complete there's still another two weeks waiting time for your BG check to complete. THE SERVICES: This facility has plenty of redundant power, both to the grid, by way of diesel generators and built-in UPS battery backup (no need to bring your own UPS!). They can provide whatever power plug and amperage you want in your cage/rack and you can even request an assortment (e.g. NEMA L6 30 Amp 208v, NEMA L5 20 Amp 110v). Bandwidth & latency function as expected. I see roughly 80ms round trip times between Santa Cruz, California & Massachusetts. Having only been with the company 3 weeks at the time of this writing I can't speak to the reliability over the long haul. Given their power redundancy I'd assume their data redundancy is equally thorough. COMMUNICATING IS DIFFICULT: Any time you need something, they make you go through the trouble ticket system. This form only allows 2000 characters which is not enough space if you need to paste several long URLs or a configuration snippet. The web form itself requires an awkward 5 minute ordeal getting logged in, selecting all the right pop-us and being told after the fact your message contains too many characters (2000 or more). The worst part is they tend to close the ticket without any confirmation from the customer that the matter is handled. When they do this it means you have to open the exact same ticket AGAIN to ask the same question or make the same request. They have NO CHAT offering whatsoever. There's no Slack channel, no Google Hangouts, no Skype, no Twitter. Microsoft Lync is only available when one pre-schedules a meeting with the team. This is 2017. IMO, we need to be able to type interactively with people. Aside from the communications disaster above, it is a decent business. If you don't mind filling out web forms and using the phone a lot, they're A-OK. I'd recommend them to anyone setting up servers in the central Massachusetts if an option like EQUINIX was not available.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR EMAIL AND TELEPHONE CUSTOMER SERVICE/SUPPORT AFFILIATED WITH RECORD STORAGE (AND…read moreNOT NECESSARILY ON-SITE PERSONNEL, WHO CAN NOT BE REACHED BY EMAIL OR TELEPHONE). Inattentive, inexcusably long response times, missed deadlines for pickups/delivery, serial billing errors which repeat without improvement or progress, compartmentalization between email and phone customer service (neither of which are effective), long hold times and phone calls typically lasting over 40 - 90 minutes, minimum, to resolve (or not resolve) simple, avoidable issues. An email regarding a delivery scheduled for later in the same week might be answered three weeks later. Poor triaging, poor management/mismanagement, and no accountability. Frustration guaranteed. Costs for retrieval of records are astronomical and insurance is not provided. Though it's quite counter-intuitive, a better option would be to hire/pay a trusted party/colleague to secure a "regular" local storage unit and to access records as needed, with generous compensation for their time. If you go with Iron Mountain, you will end up paying much more, for staggeringly poor service and quite a bit of your own professional time lost.

Constant outages saved for Monday Mornings without failure. By far, BY FAR, the single worst…read moreexperience I've ever had with Internet services. The only thing that works is their bill collecting.

Spectrum has good prices, and I won't deny that. But I'm extremely disappointed with my experience…read moreso far. Before switching from my previous carrier, I called Spectrum with several questions because I wanted to be sure I was making the right decision. I don't know if the answers I received were just meant to convince me to switch, but they were not accurate. Maybe the agent was poorly trained, but the information she gave me was not correct. I had three lines with Verizon, all on 36‑month contracts. I originally purchased two Samsung S23 phones and one iPhone 14 through Verizon. Last year, I upgraded my own phone from the S23 to the S25, buying it directly from Samsung's website and financing it through Affirm. I explained all of this to the Spectrum agent and asked if this phone would also qualify for the buyout program. She told me yes--that all phones on the lines I transferred to Spectrum would be paid off, even if they were purchased outside Verizon. I understood that the buyout program was meant to attract new customers, so it made sense. I even told her that I still owed $240 on the S23, which still appears on my Verizon bill, and that I still have that phone with me. But for me, it would be more beneficial if the S25 were paid off, since that is the phone with the higher remaining balance. I made it very clear that I didn't want any surprises after switching. She reassured me that this situation was common and that there would be no problem. After switching to Spectrum, I submitted all the documents to the buyout financial group exactly as the agent instructed. To my surprise, they only approved the remaining balance for the phones originally purchased through Verizon--not the S25 I bought through Samsung. I called, explained everything, and asked them to review the recorded call, since every call begins with a message saying the conversation is recorded. I wasn't making anything up. They opened a ticket, escalated it to a manager, and after days of back‑and‑forth, the manager told me the best he could do was offer a $20 compensation for the mistake. I explained again that if I had been given the correct information, I could have chosen to activate the line with the S23 I still owe $240 on, using the buyout program properly. Now I have to pay that out of pocket. I repeated that I was misinformed by the Spectrum agent with a false promise. Even so, the manager insisted that $20 was the best he could offer. Terrible management. He could have done more. I'm sad and frustrated with this beginning at Spectrum.
