Cogent's performance is great 95% of the time. Regardless of what anyone
says, when ever we see congestion problems, which does happen
occasionally, the congestion usually happens several hops after leaving
Cogent's network. I'd call this a problem with the other provider. It a
complicated game, stategizing who's network will carries the majority
burden and cost to backhaul the traffic the majority path. All I can say
is, when Cogent carries the data the majority path, the
performance/latency is better. We've had Cogent for 7 years and thats
why we've kept them. Many providers meet their price, They are not just
the lowest cost option anymore. Cogent tech support is also very good.
I think it is important to point out that Tom is connected to Cogent in
DC, which is the one place in the entire world where Cogent is fully
peered. The performance of Cogent in other cities will never be as good
as it is in DC until the Cogent peering situation changes.
