Transit from Cogent - thoughts?
Contemplating using Cogent Communications for transit as pricing looks favourable. Just trying to get a feel for what sort of a reputation they have in the network operators community. I'm sure people have horror stories for every provider, but just trying to get a general idea of what sort of regard they are held in the community. Thanks Adel
Cogent has been brought up several times over the last year. I suggest searching http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/nanog/users/ Otherwise you've just reopened a can of worms again. On Wed, 2009-11-11 at 15:04 +0000, adel@baklawasecrets.com wrote:

Adel, Perhaps the best way for you to get an answer to your question without the entire list erupting for no good reason is to click on the following link which will show all messages from the NANOG mailing list about Cogent. Then you can make your decision based on past conversations as opposed to adding more messages to that archive on the topic. BTW, if you don't want to click on the link I've pasted because you are careful and prudent, just go to the nanog.markmail.org website and search for "Cogent". http://nanog.markmail.org/search/?q=cogent Good luck!

I also suggest reading the Wikipedia page on Cogent. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Jay Moran [mailto:jay+NANOG@tp.org] Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 10:12 AM To: adel@baklawasecrets.com Cc: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Transit from Cogent - thoughts?
