3) The only traceroutes I can do to their network (since I know of no other IPs from them) goes through the old PSI network (which isn't a bad thing, but it isn't a good thing either *cough*Savvis*cough*.

What's obvious is you didn't read my full post. If you did you would see that I am shopping bandwidth right now myself. You would be a fool not to do your homework on cogent before passing them up as an option.
What's also obvious is they have a bad rep from a lot of trash talking out there.
I don't really know about all the PSI/Cogent/Savvis stuff.. so maybe you could explain it instead of *coughing* it out ;) I have no fuggin clue what your coughing about there. Tried to google it though - didn't find anything that seems scandalous?
I know what the cogent guy told me about the few times that I have talked to him so far for presales info. He did mention that when they first started they were or bought or branched from PSI or something. One of the questions I asked him about was their CAPACITY, because I was afraid with the prices they were at, that they would reach it quickly & start overselling. He said that the network was at around 5% or 2% at the time (a few couple three months ago, that cogent had the largest network capacity on the market & told me the capacity.. I forgot what it was though 80 something... I think it was bigger than gigabits though.
But really man, your talking shit here, and *coughing* out stuff without explaining it & making assumptions/accusations about me just because I am trying to be an informed buyer here. And trying to suggest to other people to not pass up a good deal if it exists. I'm saying back up the claims, that's all.
If the network sucks, I'll have to think of something else.. but I've been shopping, reading & watching for around 3-4 months now and it seems pretty solid to me.
