Wasn't Congent having a big problem back in October/November of '05? Come to think about it wasn't there a day where Cogent was having issues about a month ago? Not being sarcastic, this is a serious question.

Cogent's routes and latency are now better than some of the other "popular" providers, and their only drawback is the stigma associated with their name!

Forgive me but I have to agree that you have every reason to be biased, but i will take into account what you say.

That's why you go with a provider who runs BGP4... that way if a specific route does happen to have an issue, your provider can route around it...

What other providers do you have?
