Both providers will use Time Warnerfiber for last mile. My questions are: - Will we be sacrificing quality if we spring for Cogent?(yesterday's Cogent/Verizon thread provided some cold chills for my spine)- Is there a risk with contracting a carrier that utilizes anothercarrier (such as Time Warner) for the last mile? (i.e. if there is adowntime situation, are we going to be caught in a web of confusion andfinger-pointing that delays problem resolution)? - How are peoples' experiences with L3 vs TWC?Although I assume everyone on the list would be interested in what others have to say about these questions, out of respect for the carriers inquestion, I encourage you to email frank opinions off list.Or if there are third party tools or resources you know that I could consult to deduce the answers to these questions myself, they are most welcome.Thanks, Adam
