The emails on the Outages list reminded me to ask this question...
I've done some searching and haven't been able to find much in the last
3 years as to their reliability and suitability as an upstream provider.
For a regional ISP looking for GigE ports in the Chicago/St. Louis area,
is Cogent a reasonable solution? Our gut feeling is that they don't
stack up against a Level3 or Sprint, but they are being very aggressive
with pricing to try and get our business.
Thanks,
Jason
