I'm also curious about the value of co-location. Using a fast packet
service (Frame Relay, SMDS, or ATM) allows your on-site router to
communicate directly with a router of another ISP. There's no need to
purchase another router to place at the co-location site. Why incur the
additional cost?

Get a 100Mb FDDI or Ethernet connection between the two colocated
routers.

Then bring in multiple Fast packet services into your router which then
aggregates out the LAN port.
