I don't recommend anyone use a sole provider. ;-) BTW: It would be transport provider. Transport takes you from Point A to Point B. Transit is access to the public Internet.

Jim, IPv6 is an interesting topic with Cogent. We're receiving >11k routes from HE, Level3, and TWTC, but only ~8800 from Cogent. Cogent is not providing full routes on IPv6 because they do not peer with HE. Llast time I asked they have no plans of doing anything about it. I really wouldn't recommend anyone use Cogent as their sole provider. Cogent only has a single route to/from many of their pops. For example almost a month ago there was almost a week long outage in the New Orleans market when their transit provider had a cut. Looking at their network map shows multiple routes out of New Orleans though. Overall I've been very pleased with the performance of their network. Their support has been very knowledgeable and maintenance requests (ie prefix updates) have been handled in less than an hour.
