I am looking for user experiences for people who have purchased transit from cogent in the 300Mbps or up range as far as performance, stability, and any other measurable metric of quality you can come up with.
We have heard a lot of negatives about them, about their pricing model, about their network, about de-peering with Level 3, etc. What we really need is actual information.
Thank you for your time.
From a global perspective[1], the top 12 (I stopped at Cogent since you are asking about them) service providers whose customers and peering partners reach the largest number of networks are listed below. You can make some fairly interesting assumptions on your own: 1 Level 3 Communications, LLC AS 3356 2 Sprint AS 1239 3 UUNET Technologies, Inc. AS 701 4 AT&T WorldNet Services AS 7018 5 Qwest AS 209 6 NTT America, Inc. AS 2914 7 Global Crossing AS 3549 8 China Telecom AS 4134 9 TeliaNet Global Network AS 1299 10 DoD Network Information Center AS 721 11 Savvis AS 3561 12 Cogent Communications AS 174 [1] http://tinyurl.com/lepnl YMMV, -M< -- Martin Hannigan (c) 617-388-2663 Renesys Corporation (w) 617-395-8574 Member of Technical Staff Network Operations hannigan@renesys.com
