While there may be other grounds for telling them not to call you, the do not call list is not one of them as it does not apply to business to business solicitations.
"The national Do-Not-Call list protects home voice or personal wireless phone numbers only. While you may be able to register a business number, your registration will not make telephone solicitations to that number unlawful." http://www.fcc.gov/guides/unwanted-telephone-marketing-calls
Also, (from http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/do-not-call-list ) The Do-Not-Call registry does not prevent all unwanted calls. It does not cover the following: calls from organizations with which you have established a business relationship; And, in this case, there is a previously established business relationship.

I liked Cogent when we had them years ago but due to routing instability (off the charts) and unplanned down time every single month we dropped them..... they call me every 3-6 months (different person each time) and I tell them to go away....
You know, if you're in the U.S., on the No Call list, and you tell them specifically not to call you again, they're doing something illegal and can be fined up to $16,000 dollars for it. Though I hear that the FTC doesn't actually enforce it too well. May want to try waving the stick at them at least.
