$1.50 per meg. ;) I'd probably take it just because I could at that
price. The downsides with Cogent is that they occasionally get into
peering spats that might hurt you if you aren't multihomed, and no
usable IPv6 (if that matters to you). I hadn't looked into it any
further because I'm not located anywhere Cogent is to give it a serious
look.
