RE: Cogent for ISP bandwidth

["Paul Stewart" <paul () paulstewart org>]

I liked Cogent when we had them years ago but due to routing instability
(off the charts) and unplanned down time every single month we dropped
them..... they call me every 3-6 months (different person each time) and I
tell them to go away....

People with a clue in their NOC, near zero routing issues in last 1,5 years.
