Dear List,
I am getting a big push from Cogent on their full GigE for $1.50 per
circuit. What are your experiences with Cogent in general? If on
the fence, how would you use their service for this deal to make sense?
$1.50 per meg. ;) I'd probably take it just because I could at that
price. The downsides with Cogent is that they occasionally get into
peering spats that might hurt you if you aren't multihomed, and no
usable IPv6 (if that matters to you). I hadn't looked into it any
further because I'm not located anywhere Cogent is to give it a
serious look.

Hi Seth/List,
Maybe I'm to harsh, but I just don't think of them as a full-transit.
That makes it a lot easier to make a decision about adding them.
We need atleast 2 full-transits and then possible add them to get the
price down on a good part of the traffic.
On the IPv6-side they have IPv6 in Amsterdam (where we are fairly
close), but they don't even have full-transit in the 'normal' situation
(think: HE).
We do have peering with HE, so that's atleast something. But I don't yet
know what else they are missing.
That's how I see them.
Have a nice day.
