Our sales rep has been great, but unfortunately, for him, every time he calls and I ask if Cogent is going to get me 
IPv6 transit to Google, he has to say no, and then I tell him I can’t purchase any more circuits.

Given their practice of harvesting whois updates in order to spam newly acquired AS contacts, any time it is my 
decision, Cogent is ineligible as a vendor.

I’ve had no trouble getting their reps to respond when the decision has come from above, but I prefer to avoid doing 
business with them.

Hi fellow network operators,
Do any orgs here have experience with a good Cogent rep? The rep we got via Cogent's website is unresponsive to even 
basic questions. It feels like we are dealing with a bot and copy-pasted replies.
Thanks
