Re: Zayo vs Coent

I actually went through this exercise recently with Cogent, Zayo, and two other providers. The requests were all made via email at roughly the same time. HE was by far the quickest (I think under an hour), with Cogent being about half a day initially (but they did miss a BGP session, which was

Re: Zayo vs Coent

Zayo is probably a tad better in the network quality, but… Zayo’s NCC is awful when it comes to fixing or resolving anything, even something as simply as add a default route to my BGP session. And its takes forever, like a whole day waiting in queue. Cogent, you can call, and 15 minutes your

Zayo is not merely Above.net . Zayo is a massive rollup of many fiber providers. It has acquired over 30 other networks. Joe McGuckin ViaNet Communications j...@via.net 650-207-0372 cell 650-213-1302 office 650-969-2124 fax

Re: Zayo vs Coent

My cogent is pretty good... I had 10 gig for a few years, then dual 10’s Lag’d together for about year or so, and now 100 gig for about 2 months. So it’s been about five or six years that I’ve been with cogent They usually are knowledgeable when I talk to them and they are able to do what I

Re: Zayo vs Coent

We have 10G IPv4 circuits with both Zayo and Cogent getting full routes. One major difference is the maintenance windows - when Cogent has maintenance, things get weird for hours at a time. On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 4:00 PM JASON BOTHE via NANOG wrote: > If you love yourself and your

If you love yourself and your organization just peer with Zayo and not look back. > On Nov 9, 2018, at 14:19, Ca By wrote: > > Zayo will provide you all of the internet > > Cogent will provide you with something that is not all internet, it is > missing HE and Google on ipv6. > >> On Fri,

Zayo will provide you all of the internet Cogent will provide you with something that is not all internet, it is missing HE and Google on ipv6. On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 10:53 AM William Herrin wrote: > Zayo is the former above.net. Worked well for me at previous $job. > Cogent is Cogent. Refer

Re: Zayo vs Coent

$dayjob hat off: I'll add that they often times use the same fiber for the last mile (hence why they're both on-net at that building), so if you get both with the intention of redundancy, you could potentially be taken out by a single cut unless you harp on the point that they need to be fiber

Re: Zayo vs Coent

I have both Zayo and Cogent at my location in West Chicago, IL and have found that most of my traffic transits Cogent. I haven’t had much in the way of issues with the Internet service of either but Zayo does seem to have gone down hill in terms of support quality since they bought Abovenet.

Re: Zayo vs Coent

Comparing networks and performance I believe zayo will outperform Cogent in most places but I’ve heard nightmares about dealing with Zayo’s account managers and billing reps. Cogent is great at their price point and you will get a very sweet deal for a 10G circuit and their account managers and

Re: Zayo vs Coent

Zayo is the former above.net. Worked well for me at previous $job. Cogent is Cogent. Refer to the list archives for experiences with Cogent. Regards, Bill Herrin On Fri, Nov 9, 2018 at 10:19 AM Dovid Bender wrote: > > Hi, > > We are in a facility where my only options are Cogent or Zayo. We plan

Zayo vs Coent

Hi, We are in a facility where my only options are Cogent or Zayo. We plan on getting a 10G connection for a web crawler using v4 only. Looking for feedback on either or (keeping the politics out of it). TIA. Dovid
