Never really had a problem with them. (Or any downtime that wasn't maintenance related..)
As others said, Tier 1 tech support has a clue. And can actually complete BGP functions. Email based support is fast (Like updating prefix filters). You get the speeds to pay for. The one thing they do however is de-prioritise ICMP on their routers. So traceroutes look poor to the untrained eye. Someone will say, I trace to google and as soon as it hits cogent the ping goes up to 200ms with packet loss! I point out that the end hop is fine and that's just how cogent works. Oh, And if your circuit is under Gigabit, and your running BGP you have to do this whole A peer B peer type setup with multihop BGP. Which is a bit annoying. But Gig and above you are interfaced right into their main router for that location and hold a session with your neighbor.

Hi all, Cogent approached us recently, trying to sell us a 100M/100M Internet pipe. Anyone using them for upstream? Has your experience been generally positive or negative?
