I've talked to a few who use cogent and love the price and the service.
I am on cogent, but only because I drilled down my upstream fiber
carrier for price and I noticed they swapped me over from level3 to cogent.
I have not had any issues what so ever from them.

My understanding is that they have a very decent network, as long as your
traffic does not need to cross their network to another provider. (Their
peering points are greatly overloaded -:))
But, because they have a very large network, carrying a lot of traffic, so
as to keep the end users happy, the only way to get decent performance is to
connect directly to them (Cogent).
You may be surprised as to how much traffic from Canada comes to US on
Cogent.
These are my two cents worth.
