It does, now.  Maybe it's only for special customers ;)

Now you have.  We have one right now.  Our plan is $90/mo.  It went
down from $100 (added the static IP) when we moved our office and
signed a new 1-yr contract in December.

$80/mo is closer to what I was seeing, too.  Also, the $80/mo price
colo is probably for a 1u rack-mount unit, right?  Rack-mounts are not
cheap, so if the OP has a tower server, then factor in the cost of a
new server, too.  So TWC remains cheaper, assuming bandwidth is not
an issue (such as hosting a personal site).

Of course, this is all moot for me, since I use DynDNS and host on
the residential RR plan for $45/mo.  But our business would probably
jump on a chance to co-lo a tower server for $45/mo.
