Re: What happened to Cogent?

[Stephen Wilcox <steve () telecomplete co uk>]

There are rumours of depeering from them....

Route-views shows much instability to their major peers eg 2914, 12956, 701 etc

I have a couple of customer complaints and they are unreachable....

Perhaps they depeered, overloaded their net and turned it off and on again?
