I know right. I miss it being in that location. ;_;

My internet woes lately have been of the variety that moving the datacenter wouldn't resolve - if SE itself isn't getting DDoSed, then my local internet is getting chewed up and spit out. (FU, Charter.)
I'm shocked I stayed stable tonight considering that Atlanta unexpectedly turned into a snowy frozen hellscape today. I guess Irma blew down a lot of the dead wood that normally would have iced everything over by now.
Long story short, while an east coast data center would be nice, I think there are other infrastructure upgrades that are more important. Moving one of the data centers across the country would be prohibitively expensive. A better option would be to leverage a service like AWS and have a virtual data center that is still managed on the west coast, but located in an AWS center in someplace like VA. That way they wouldn't have to physically rent a space, just rent a dozen dedicated server racks from Amazon.
