NTT is awesome. Extremely responsive, sales guys aren't pushy, noc is great, and lots of NTT guys are here on nanog. Cogent is not. Their sales guys love to scrape whois records too, and won't leave you the hell alone. I've used both extensively, and now typically just avoid cogent. -chris Am 05.02.2015 09:26 schrieb "Jack Stonebraker" < Jack.Stonebraker@mygrande.com>:
My organization is currently shopping for some additional Transit Capacity to augment our existing interconnects. We've got around 8 distinct AS's that we're receiving transit routes from, followed by a handful of Public IX's and Private PNI's to AS's that warrant them. That said, the networks that are on our radar are Cogent and NTT. I've done some due diligence poking around on their Looking Glass, but I'd love to hear any user experiences from the community, both from a Layer 3 Perspective, as well as an Operational Perspective (Working with the businesses themselves). Feel free to contact me off-list and thanks in advance for your time.
