RE: Cogent Question - Increments Question

["Paul Stewart" <pstewart () nexicomgroup net>]

Thank you - and that's fair enough.  With more related topics in the
past I've had folks blast me for not sharing back to the list regarding
offline information.  In this case, in hindsight I share your opinion
and that would explain why all replies were offline.....

Apologies to the list and thank you Jeff for taking the time to
respectively share your insight....

Paul

Paul,

With all due respect i'm not sure Cogent's sales practices are on
topic for this list. Perhaps ask the question but most subscribers
here, i'd assume, are not incredibly interested in whether or not they
can buy a fractional FE from Cogent.

My two cents.

Best regards, Jeff
