From my understanding, no.
Cogent has leased dark fiber from others for there national network. Yipes who had (just filed chapter 11) a much better Gig e network of there own, built there own.
but dont quote me on it...
And I agree with Brad on Cisco involvement, they have there own investors to answer to, they arent going to keep afloat a network that wont contintue to buy large volumes of hardware from them.
I think cogent is great for TGP galleries and cj's ect.., and hopefully they can become profitable, but it doesnt look good. I just wouldnt throw any site that is important on it, particularly if you care about any traffic outside of north America...
