Cogent is no longer the cheapest, when you reach GigE levels. We'll be dropping them soon. Cogent is real big on only discounting for long terms, they are pushing the 3yr or 10gb, to get the attractive discounts. Also note some carrier's Gig-E transport can have different tiers based on how its delivered, (dedicated port/path end to end, shared path along the way, the capacity SLA on it.)
The secret to getting good Gig-E pricing, is buying transit from already lit buildings, that have adequate competition. So Cost is not duplicated on transit and transport. If there is a switch and fiber already there, it costs the provider next to nothing to give you Gig-E access. If buying in Colo centers, and doing higher download traffiic, sometimes better price can be gotten from web hosts than from transit providers.
