As a current Cogent customer, my experience on the service side of =
things is similar.
Very responsive (I called on a Sunday and had someone with good enough =
clue + router access pick up instantly.)
NOC is competent, and my sales guys (I've had two so far) are not pushy =
at all. I don't have any real complaints.
I'd rate them higher than most of my other upstreams as far as NOC =
competency goes.
