i know you're in the St. Louis area, so maybe you have experience with them there. All carriers have their good and bad POPs\towns.
Cogent may or may not peer with many other carriers in St. Louis, forcing off-net traffic through Chicago or Dallas, adding a several ms and points of failure. They may have a severely underpowered set of routers that just can't keep up. Since St. Louis is on one of their 2 major E-W routes, maybe their long haul capacity through St. Louis is bumping it's limits. I have a pretty good idea who they're using for their Chicago - Omaha, personally, I don't know why they don't light all the way to Denver, since it's available. I'm not saying that any of these things ARE happening, just examples of something that may affect any given carrier at any given POP. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 9/10/2010 10:00 AM, Dennis Burgess wrote: > Nothing wrong with cogent .. > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > Dennis Burgess, Mikrotik Certified Trainer > Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik& WISP Support Services > Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net > LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training - Author of "Learn RouterOS" > > > -----Original Message----- > From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On > Behalf Of Mike Hammett > Sent: Friday, September 10, 2010 9:16 AM > To: WISPA General List > Subject: Re: [WISPA] Cogent in St. Louis > > I believe WISPerISP (or something like that) has a Cogent pipe (in > addition to others) out of St. Louis.
