Agreed. A couple IXes, Cogent, HE, and a couple others. Add more IXes and others as needed. Eyeballs should be fine with the above.

Cogent have more pain points on average but they’re still the best option  
for getting to other Cogent customers.  It’s not really hard to design  
around their shortcomings.   I’d rather have 30 small links and be  
well-connected than two large ones and be SOL because someone refuses to  
peer.

I can’t speak to their MPLS service, because cogent’s the last company I’d  
ever trust with my backbone.
