Have 2 data centers with GIGE handoffs of cogent.  No complaints from
gamers or VOIP users.  Cogent has really stepped up their game in the past
year or so. I have had a few servers on a Cogent onNet building in Chicago
for over 5 years now.  Cogent did really oversell their network.  Plus
they were a haven for IRC, spammers, and other such bandwidth hogs.  The
infrastructure could not keep up with the demand.

        Are they as good as a Real Tier1? Not really, but for sub $3 a meg in
many locations they are worth it.  Especially in the days of netflix and
and such.

        Support is pretty good.  I have known many times they call the customer
if their monitoring notices something.  Many places open up a ticket.
Well if e-mail is behind that downed circuit it might be awhile before you
get it.
