FDC is crap. check out webhostingtalk.com and use the search feature.
Also - Cogent is crap for game servers. Cogent is the dollar store of bandwidth providers. High latency. Its good for website hosting and thats about it. If you want good colo try dedicatednow.com or if you just want a server 15minuteservers.com has some good deals. There are other quality providers as well. Oh and stay away from Ezzi.net as well. I lost ALL of my NY customers within 2 months of moving to there.
