I'm just curious how many of you who are bashing Cogent have actually hosted on Cogent, or know anything first hand about them (not what you've been fed by hosting companies using more expensive bandwidth.) Like mariuz said, people are going to jerk off to your shit no matter what bandwidth you're using. Do you put banners on your site saying "WE USE 100% TEIR 1 VERIO BANDWIDTH"? Fuck no. Why? Because you're members could give a fuck. The majority of your members probably don't even know what the word bandwidth means in this context. Here is my guess at what 99% of porn surfers know how to do with their computer:
1. Turn computer on
2. Wait for memory parity test to complete
3. Wait for Windows 98 SE to load
4. Click on the AOL icon
5. Giggle when the guy says "You've got mail!"
6. Delete several spam emails
7. Close the bedroom door and make sure mom and dad / girlfriend / boyfriend are asleep / out
8. Masturbate to Tokyo Midget Bukkake video clips
9. Ejaculate
10. Wipe jizz off mouse (woops)
11. Play Everquest
Notice, not one though about latency or hops, or milliseconds. I think people should spend less time paying any attention to the bandwidth provider myths and bullshit and worry about important things like hot wings and boobies.
