He received a very similar response from Level3 when we complained to them about the issue. "We have contacted VZ with no response" We see pings go from 8ms to 110ms+ from our office FIOS to one of our data centers in San Diego.... LAX handoffs of FIOS traffic to Cogent & Level3 appears the choke points to us. James Laszko Mythos Technlogy Inc jamesl@mythostech.com Sent from my iPhone

FYI, here's the latest response from Cogent when I prodded them about the issue (just received this about 30 minutes ago:
--- The issue on this peer involves a high amount of traffic being sent to Cogent from the Verizon network. In order to resolve the congestion on that peer, Verizon needs to engineer thier routing to another peering point with Cogent that has more available space for the traffic. We have reached out to Verizon for assistance and are still awaiting a response from their peering engineers. We will continue to reach out to them until they respond. ---
Sounds like more "fluff" to me :-/
