Same here... frequent packet loss. We had Cogent GigE service for about 9 months if I recall - more than one major outage per month and packet loss issues at least once a week.

I can't imagine VoIP over their network is all that appealing to most people. Last time I used Cogent I had a problem approx. every month, and I purchased transit from them. Good luck :-) Mike Fedyk wrote:
Thank you, the issue seems to be fixed now at Cogent.
Does anyone know how often issues like this seem to crop up? I'm wondering to see how hard I should push here for routing around cogent for networks our customers connect from.
