    Would you host your members area on Cogent bandwidth with a VERY reliable host? It would save us 100% in the hosting price.

          Personally I would only use Cogent for galleries and similar free sites. Some will agree, others will disagree. My theory is if somebody is paying me to access my site, they deserve the extra $5 per mbps for premium bandwidth. Depending how much bandwidth you need, I can probably save you a crapload of money and still have you running on premium bandwidth. Feel free to hit me up if you would like to discuss.

              No, as in We will be paying $500 a month for cogent or $1000 a month for premium, therefore a 100% savings

                Hmmm NO.. 500 is 50% of 1000 ... and u are going down in price.. if you were paying 500 and will pay 1000 then u are going up 100%... but if u are paying 1000 and want to pay 500 that is a 50% reduction.

                    Oh, and by the way, I have seen tour conversions and site retention increase by using better quality bandwidth. Think about it from a surfers standpoint for a minute.

                    What you need to do is decide whether or not the cost of higher bandwidth will pay for itself with the better conversions and retention.

                        Not voluntarily. We've had people swap out our fine bandwidth for cogent without our knowledge or permission. That doesn't happen anymore.

                                  depends on what you retention rate is. If they only stay for a month and its been that way for a while knock your self out with cogent. If you have good retention i wouldn't use cogent

                                      I bet if someone posted 2 links to two sites, one with cogent and one with "premium bandwidth" nobody would notice a difference.

                                              I bet you can get quality bandwidth for the same price youre getting that cogent at, and the bandwidth would be guaranteed available 24/7

                                                Why would you do that? Its not like with galleries where you have to take the risk not to convert. Your members are already paying, its not a risk, give them what they deserve.

                                                  i second that. the price of bandwidth has gone down and the quality of bandwidth has gone up.

                                                  it's simple... switch to cogent... put a poll in the members area and ask... has loading the site/content improved, remained the same, or decreased. i'm sure you'll find an answer in a week or less!

                                                  some people still will never change even if they see savings smacking them right in the face... just because cogent sucked before doesn't mean they suck now. btw. i don't use cogent so i don't know how they are now... maybe someone will be kind enough and post their results and help us all

                                                        You talking about the "old" cogent, that was realy suck.
                                                        But now its totally different !
                                                        I think its ok for the memebrs area.
