How so? Please explain in detail (googling for it now). This stuff is interesting to me. When was this? I've already mentioned (and others did too) that it was known that Cogent got battered around pretty good when they were first hitting a the market - which was what.. like $200-$250/mbit was "dirt cheap" at the time & cogent comes out with pricing about a tenth of that
.. oh yeah, thats going to be welcomed with open arms. But now it's too late (for the other providers). Cogent sank its teeth in too deep. They have to compete. Within a year they will probably have direct competition with prices in line with their own. I'm sure there are providers out there right now that are converting their networks to a more cost effective data-only network =)
