    They are, but they carry such a stigma in so many communities, people will probably continue to complain even when the service is good.
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          any recommendation for a good ISP or hosting company?

          Cogent is offering $1k for 100Mbits, what do you think?

              seems cost effective for games servers out there.

                For On-net traffic

                Off Net its more like $30 per mbps for 100mbps line

                      Been Using Cogent for a year to serve 80mbit per second Sustained of streaming Video. No Problems with them and can't beat the price. Who cares if the market complains about them, if you truly need a lot of Bandwidth for stuff Like Video or a Game Server they are the way to Go. (They Do have a financial issue with Cisco, but I think all will be cool for another year)

                          I don't see the reason why, game servers use very little transfer, and speed (both server and bw) and low ping rates are very important. So why save a few bucks on bandwidth if 95% of what you pay is for the hardware anyway? Maybe I'm missing something though.

                          Multihomed quality BW for less
