I HATE THAT.

I took you up on your claim and did traces out of my box at rackshack and saw Verio, Time Warner, MFN, and Allegiance... No Cogent... except for when I did a trace to cogentco.com and psinet. Using the cogent argument when saying why someone shouldn't use rackshack is getting old. Their mrtg graphs are public and out of their 13 gig-e's, only 1 is cogent. Even their 10mbit boxes aren't all cogent only anymore - the CTO posted in their forum they are moving those to BGP too. If you are getting cogent on the outbound, it is because BGP says thats the best route.
