I find it interesting that they say their clients didn't see it as an issue. Whenever they called and asked if I want transit my answer always was when they had v6 peering to He and Gooogle we could talk. On Mon, Jan 27, 2020 at 12:56 PM Owen DeLong <owen () delong com> wrote:
I now longer have a dog in this fight, but “The” peering cake was my project (such as it was)... Cogent has, to the best of my knowledge, always had rather large voids in their IPv6 connectivity. To the best of my knowledge, HE and Google are the most significant of these voids, but I believe there are others as well. Some quotes I received from Cogent representatives over the years (some may be slightly paraphrased): “Hurricane is too small to peer IPv6 with us… They should just buy transit from us.” “Why should we peer with HE? Our customers aren’t reporting it as a problem.” “Congested links allow us to pass the savings on to our customers.” “We see from ARIN whois that you recently registered an ASN. Want to buy transit from us?” (many times over several years) (This particular violation of the ARIN Whois AUP/TOS eventually resulted in Cogent being suspended from using the service) OwenOn Jan 26, 2020, at 22:41 , Large Hadron Collider <large.hadron.collider () gmx com> wrote:Peering cake?

Wonder if this can be used to cancel some cogent services... Imean, they technically aren't providing access to the full internet now. 🤷♂️🤔Sent via the Samsung Galaxy Note9, an AT&T 5G Evolution capablesmartphone-------- Original message -------- From: Rich Kulawiec <rsk () gsp org> Date: 1/7/20 7:02 PM (GMT-06:00) To: North American Network Operators' Group <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: FYI - Suspension of Cogent access to ARIN Whois On Tue, Jan 07, 2020 at 04:54:22PM -0600, Mike Hammett wrote:That said, if there's a stern warning about Cogent abusing the system, maybe their customers finding out is a good thing for the overall community. ;-)And that is what I would suggest: reply to all queries with a notice that explains what is happening, why it's happening, and provides contact information for Cogent executives: preferably their *personal* email addresses and phone numbers. ---rsk-- Large Hadron Collider <large.hadron.collider () gmx com>
