Re: Cogent/Level 3 depeering

[Matthew Crocker <matthew () crocker com>]

I opened a billing/support ticket with Cogent.   I'm not planning on  
paying my bill or continuing the contract if they cannot provide full  
BGP tables and full Internet transport (barring outages).   Luckily I  
have 2 other providers so I can still reach Level 3.

Maybe I can buy the new 'Cogent - it is almost the Internet' service  
for less money.
