Followup: we did the quote/PO/sign-the-order dance. That took about 3-4 days not including our side's lag (which was not insignificant, Im not the guy with the pen). But now it's gone to provisioning and will be a standard *5 days*. Cogent will do this in about 1-6 hours if you provide the LOA's with the request. So will HE. And many others. /kc On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 02:28:50PM -0400, Ken Chase said:
I feel this can be a public topic:
Rogers just charged us that for an update (one update, multiple entries). We had to go through their quotation machinery too, took like 4-5 days. Additional time was wasted because we contacted their tech dept directly at the start. (which is what I do for all my other upstreams...)
Kinda brutal.
Cogent and HE nor NAC or Yipes or Tata ever did that to us.
Nickle and diming -- why, cuz transit is a cheap commodity now, gotta make the cash somewhere?
That said Cogent offered us a static /26 along side our BGP years ago then warned us it'd be $50/mo or something for that # of ips going forward. We didnt need it so dispensed with it.

If there are any ISPs who use TELUS/AS852 for IP Transit over BGP, I???d be interested in hearing from you.
I???d like to compare notes to see if you are also paying $250 for each BGP prefix filter updated request, or if we???re the only ones???
Thanks in advance!
