The issue between DTAG and Cogent has been going on since 2005 - as DTAG wants Cogent to pay, but in reality it's DTAG who should pay Cogent, as Cogent has the Content on the Network and DTAG users want to access that content... anyways, as this is not going to be fixed anytime soon - personally I'm using the Maxmind ISP Database to serve DTAG users from a different server of mine, which works well.

Hope this clears it up.

Clears it up fine, exactly what I was looking for and also helps me understand why their rates were so low for these unmetered plans they launched recently.
