They charge it even if you’re using your own address space. It’s a fee simply for establishing BGP with them on a given circuit. I believe if you used static routes and their space, you would not have to pay it.

That sounds like the BS the first company I worked for tried to pull. One would think they'd welcome customers bringing their own IP space since it saves them money by not using up precious Cogent IPv4 address space. Hell, I even have BGP for v4 and v6 over my CenturyLink biz fiber, and its available as part of the enhanced package they offer with no extra fees. -- Brielle Bruns The Summit Open Source Development Group http://www.sosdg.org / http://www.ahbl.org
