Had more trouble with our AT&T link then our Cogent link...going on
two years and only 1 unexpected outage...pays to have BGP! But we do connect to them wirelessly using a Ceragon that runs right to a Colo...so nice to bypass the ILEC's ridiculous prices for fiber!!!

Some people have problems with them in other markets.On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Justin Wilson <j...@mtin.net> wrote: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. -- Justin Wilson <j...@mtin.net> CCNA CCNT Mikrotik Advanced http://www.mtin.net - Homepage http://www.mtin.net/blog - Technical Blog XISP solutions Hosting Consulting Tower Climbing Web Design From: Mike Hammett <wispawirel...@ics-il.net> Reply-To: WISPA General List <wireless@wispa.org> Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:39:53 -0600 To: <wireless@wispa.org> 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. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
