I have been reading about Cogent Communications recently and was wondering how
they can possibly offer 100mbps for $3000 ($1000 if you are an end-user, not a
service provider).  It just seems too good to be true and we know how that
goes...

Does anyone on NANOG have experience with them?

Thoughts?

For those who don't know:  Cogent offers 100 mbps at $3000 to service provider
or 1000gbps for $20,000.  http://www.cogentco.com has some info but not much.

thanks,
