I know Cogent is crap it's not my oppinion. It's not a mystery why either. Simply put they use less pops (network stations) so your connection has to bounce around 2-3 times as much to reach it's destination. This also create more points of failure and possible latency. And they don't pay their bill to the hops they have half the time. Once they a major pop that led to LA was blocked from cogent because they didn't pay their bill. All connections to LA through cogent where dead. If you have to use them them use a quality provider and cogent in a blend then atleast when they fuck up and they will you have a reall connection to get you through.

Also keep in mind the main reason why surfers leave websites is when they are too slow. It's more important then design and content!

I wouldn't put my TGP galleries on Cogent or Verio.

uunet is actually one of the best because they pay more to use more pops. In fact they might have the most connections on their network then anyone.
