That's BULLSHIT.
Moose is using cogent for his TGP specials and whatnot, and he's far from being a newbie. And I've heard nothing but glowing praise for Moose and Evan in regards to tech support.
You get what you pay for to a certain extent, but that doesn't always mean you get more just because you paid more.
Ever been car shopping? Notice that one dealer is willing to sell you the exact same make and model for $1K less than another? Does that mean if you pay the extra $1K to buy the car from the first dealer that you're getting a better car?
If cogent goes under tomorrow, it'll take my host all of 5 minutes to plug my box into another pipe and my sites will keep on humming. If that happens then I'll have to pay the same price for bandwidth that you do, but until then why wouldn't I want to take that savings and add it to the bottom line every month?
As long as your host has a back up plan (and every host should have a back up plan for EVERY provider, not just for cogent) then I see no reason not to use it.
