Tier 1 - A network who peers with every other network to reach the Internet.
Tier 2 - A network who peers with some networks, but still purchases IP transit to reach at least some portion of the Internet.
Tier 3 - A network who solely purchases transit from other networks to reach the Internet.
Cogents network really isn't that bad, its came a long way over the past years.
