I have two separate entries for sets of phone numbers/email addresses, associated with my name, that must be in Cogent's CRM system as cold leads.
About every six months I am contacted by a new person whom I've never heard of before. My theory is that each newbie Cogent sales rep has been assigned a bunch of random cold leads to call and attempt to sell.
The most recent tactic is to request 1 or 10Gb IP transit at impossible to service sites, such as AT&T Long Lines towers on top of 1000 meter high mountains, in Deadhorse Alaska, or the CLLI codes for the COs of tiny coastal villages on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Invariably I never hear anything back from that person again.
The cycle repeats again six months later.
