Well, the network really wasn't lit at the time of the last
discussion.
Is anyone on-list a cogent customer? Has anyone done or heard about
any peering with cogent? If so what type of pipe?
Could they do a lot of damage if some customers start to really push
traffic? (ie: 30 "big" customers pushing 500 megs each and throwing
an extra 15gigs/sec onto mae-east).

I believe that this is a topic that has been brought up before.
