Same here... frequent packet loss. We had Cogent GigE service for about
9 months if I recall - more than one major outage per month and packet
loss issues at least once a week.
You get what you pay for (within reason)....

Cogent frequently have routing and packet loss issues. I can't imagine
VoIP over their network is all that appealing to most people. Last time
I used Cogent I had a problem approx. every month, and I purchased
transit from them.
Good luck :-)
