I have been reading about Cogent Communications recently and was wondering
how
they can possibly offer 100mbps for $3000 ($1000 if you are an end-user, not a service provider). It just seems too good to be true and we know how that
goes...
My understanding is that the peering is very underprovisioned, and that much of the network is not yet finished. Regards Marshall Eubanks
Does anyone on NANOG have experience with them?
Thoughts?
For those who don't know: Cogent offers 100 mbps at $3000 to service provider
or 1000gbps for $20,000. http://www.cogentco.com has some info but not much.
