If I were Netflix, why would I buy all my transit from Cogent[1], given Cogent's propensity for getting into peering fights with people *already*, even before *I* start sending them 1000:1 asymmetric outbound traffic?
Did they not buy from Level 3 as well?
So why would Cogent offer Netflix a helluva deal?
Because that's the business Cogent is in? Underprice everybody but the buyer gets what he gets without any real recourse if it isn't good enough. Good money as a bottom feeder as long as you don't make the mistake of selling a dollar for fifty cents. On Wed, Jul 23, 2014 at 11:11 AM, Brandon Butterworth <brandon () rd bbc co uk> wrote:
Previous events have shown Cognet only use live rounds, so why would they not take the opportunity to get a bigger gun?
