Cogent is great if you treat them as a path. I wouldn't use Cogent in place
of single homing a service provider though due to how they run their
network and the subsequent peering disputes that arise. Don't get me wrong,
I like Cogent, they definitely have a good use case, just be cognizant of
how they run their business model / network.
