Well how am I supposed to arrange a payment on a Sunday afternoon?
As well I'd say I've already paid them more than enough to use their IPs - I never brought up a BGP session with them and never passed a single packet to them. I'm surprised to hear that such extortion techniques are considered acceptable.
somehow, i suspect that we're hearing only one side of a, quite likely messy and unhappy, story. and i doubt it all happened on a sunny sunday afternoon.
That's why I can't believe Cogent actually did this. 14:46 eastern, May 2 my Cogent rep Scott Elrod emailed me indicating there would be no resolution to the dispute, and to contact him should I wish to have Cogent service in the future. Since then we received *NO* contact from Cogent. I first heard that Cogent was expecting an immediate renumbering from the /22 was when I got an email from Peer1 (as I was watching Montreal beat Carolina). -Ralph
