Unless you have money to burn or something - like IBM or other coporate giants & just want to pay so you have someone to scream at on the phone everytime a router burps somewhere. 
And look! there is another one of those sly cogent-bashing comments... you say "you can get ~$40-$50/mbit prices from a lot of much better providers". What makes them much better?
Your losing focus of the thread.... if you plan to talk shit about cogent, your supposed to bring some form of proof to the table with it.
I feel bad for Cogent, they came out with these great prices for consumers (horrible prices for the industry) and people kick the shit out of them on the boards like this.

uhm I didn't talk shit nor did I bash them. What makes you think that if you get 1Gbps from cogent you won't have to spend the $ to get routing equipment that you would need for any other providers.
Peering and routing is what makes cogent lower quality than other providers:
