They gave me a free /29 and then when I reminded them about BGP they popped up another agreement for $50/mo. This was today. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Wed, Oct 17, 2018, 12:25 PM Anderson, Charles R <cra () wpi edu> wrote:
I was told they only charge it if you have bigger than a /29 from them. On Wed, Oct 17, 2018 at 04:12:01PM +0000, David Hubbard wrote:They charge it even if you’re using your own address space. It’s a feesimply 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.From: NANOG <nanog-bounces () nanog org> on behalf of Josh Luthman <josh () imaginenetworksllc com>Date: Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at 12:10 PM To: Brielle Bruns <bruns () 2mbit com> Cc: NANOG list <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: Cogent charging 50/mo for BGP (not IPs, the service) I view Cogent IP space as a way to lock customers to their service, iemake them sticky.Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Wed, Oct 17, 2018, 12:03 PM Brielle Bruns <bruns () 2mbit com<mailto:bruns () 2mbit com>> wrote:On 10/17/2018 9:47 AM, Josh Luthman wrote:Has anyone else dealt with this mess? Even my Cogent rep admits it's unique to their business.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 extrafees.
