Whenever asked about Cogent, i just say, “Friends don’t let friends use Cogent.” I’ve told two of their reps over the past two years that even if the service was free, i wouldn’t use it. And yet, they still call. -Mike

Given their practice of harvesting whois updates in order to spam newly acquired AS contacts, any time it is my decision, Cogent is ineligible as a vendor.
So I guess then that their aiding and abetting of fraud and IP block theft, as I documented here recently, is an entirely secondary concern... as long as they don't spam you, yes?
