I'm in search of some information about Cogent, it's past, present and future. I've heard bits and pieces about Cogent's past over the years but by no means have I actively been keeping up.
I had a very positive interaction with the Cogent folks in Europe FWIW. It was seeded by their US colleagues and everyone worked closely to try and make things work operationally and economically. That signaled to me that they have some cohesiveness internally which I found to be a big plus*. At worst, allowing Cogent to seriously compete for your business can help you reduce your costs elsewhere if you are smart about it. At best, you could cut your costs and maintain the reliability that you are seeking with some strategic mitigation. Others may have different suggestions. YMMV.
