I have seen a network feeding 80 megs of cogent for about 3 months now.
No complaints for the users. But this network also has a BGP feed from
Tier1.
We have servers on a cogent link in downtown Chicago. No problems with
them and there are 200+ web-sites hosted on those boxes.

Subject: [WISPA] Bandwidth Promo
I wish I was a bit closer to a POP to take advantage of it, but my Cogent
rep informed me that through the end of the month, they have a promo going
$400/100 megabit 1 year contract. Only available at Cogent and carrier
neutral data centers. These facilities are listed on their web site under
the network heading. A complete building list (and not eligible for this
promo) is available in the service locator under Dedicated Internet access.
Not all of their host buildings allow roof access, but I believe a
significant number of them do. I encourage you to build your network out to
these facilities.
Sure, someone's going to hop on here and complain about how horrible Cogent
is, but every carrier has their good and bad spots. I'm sure I could find
someone to honestly say the same things about AT&T, VZB, Level3, InterNAP,
XO, MZima, etc., etc. It doesn't matter the carrier, I strongly encourage
you to have more than one.
Feel free to blast the list with questions about building your network to
Cogent, routing policies to best combine Cogent and your existing provider,
etc. These things would apply to any carrier, not just Cogent.
