Hi Folks,
Anyone got any suggestions on east coast DC's?
Not looking for budget stuff, looking for a solid network, DDOS protection, IPv6 enabled with a good reputation for quality.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers!

build your own DC maybe?
I like @vapornode's network for south american users myself, might not be "east coast" enough for you though.
brilliant!
thats not that expensive actually , if you find the right facilities.
just like vmhaus did.
then you will have own network,totally stable.:)

We haven't built a DC! Not yet at least. We have tried to start building our own network. Our new US west includes dual routers, dual switches. A lot more than you'd need but gives you a better experience.
We are in Hivelocity in Tampa, Florida. They are absolutely wonderful for leasing or colocation. They also have Atlanta now and space in LA (I know that doesn't help you).
Psychz Washington DC location is premium.
Maybe wait for OVH Ashburn (Vint Hill) launch offers ?
@francisco braindump?
just for the record I don't really consider renting a percentage of a rack and setting up a psudo ASN to really be 'your own DC'
Just looking at the stuff @francisco has, might just be going with a large 8 core slice.
I am looking for something long standing with an established reputation.
Choopa is pretty good. Renting a beefy server at their Piscataway location - the network quality and DDoS protection has already proved its worth. Moved to them after getting tired of OVH's network. Competitive pricing as well. Not sure about their colo situation if that's what you're gearing towards.
New LES location?
Maybe not east coast enough -- but I've been super happy with incero out of Dallas, TX. They have some great deals: https://incero.com/autoservers
Choopa comes on top for your requirements. They have been solid provider for ages.
I'd love to know what this means because that is a term I have never seen used relating to an ASN.
I didn't realise ASNs can't be genuine? You either have an ASN or you don't?

Sorry I couldn't hear you over the dns blocking.

Cyberwurx in ATL. Awesome support, network, and didn't have any power issues despite many others in the building encountering them. (other providers)
They've definitely had power issues along with the rest of the building (RamNode is in CyberWurx ATL).

Didn't @Francisco have some big issues with Choopa a little while ago?
Choopa cuts huge corners to maximise profit, Vultr is direct competition that just happened to work better than what they offering Fran. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A few providers (some on here) had a few serious issues with them
My time with Choopa was far from enjoyable. Maybe their dedicated/cloud side is better, but their colocation side seems to be treated poorly. We had monthly hour+ long outages from a upstream router that would stop forwarding traffic, broken bgp communities more than once leading to large DDOS attacks knocking us offline, network completely butchered to just be Telia in the end w/o any adjustment to price, etc. At one point they gave us a community to push our traffic through the old blend and bypass Telia. That worked for a couple weeks before they disabled it since everyone was swapping.
When I originally left their facility years ago we did a solid job on wiring and making sure everything was secure. We didn't have all the time in the world, but it was by no means messy. When I got there to move things in February there was switches that weren't actually bolted in, they simply sat them on top of 1U supermicro rails they didn't remove prior. There was a 20 - 30 ethernet cable bundle that they ran in the rack to a new router we put in and then just...didn't remove it when we had them swap things.
Other things that had full rail sets were just sitting on top of other units, not a bolt in site. I was absolutely livid.
