Dominic, Understood that they only install into MTU's for the 100mbit drops. This is why we're looking to get a location in an office building. =) Yours, -david ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dominic J. Eidson" <sauron () the-infinite org> To: "David E.

Are there comparable deals out there, or is Cogent the only one at this price point? Do they have good peering? What kind of latency/throughput

one get over their network? Do they have any customers? Any of you use Cogent?
There's a big caveat with getting the 100Mbit for $1000/month: Cogent's business plan is based on finding large buildings with several/many companies, that all are interested in buying their service. Then, Cogent drops Gig fiber into the basement (or any other convenient dmarc), and hands out 100Mbit feeds from it. They're not really interested in servicing single entities that want "just" 100Mbit. However, they will offer you the whole 1Gbit/sec for $10k/month. :)
