I have yet to see anyone go under $15 on 100 megs. That said, I haven't
really been looking in a few months.

Cogent is awful and widely known for it. Nevertheless, the do have an
important place in the industry. If you use them for an upstream make
sure you have another one and understand enough about BGP to get around
the traffic engineering they do.
I should also add that there isn't much point in buying Cogent at carrier
hotels. Tier 1 providers are available for the same or cheaper than Cogent
in many cases. Cogent only tends to be cheaper outside carrier hotels.
One thing to consider for those who understand Cogent's peering problems
is that Cogent has a rather good BGP community setup. You can buy transit
from them and then using community strings turn it into a peering session.
