So there you have it? now you can draw your own conclusion if Cogent sucks.
Just remember that is only bandwidth you still have to considered the hosting companies network equipment, the server/hardware and they way the your hosting company configures and tweaks your server to gain maximum performance. When you test the hosting companies home page odds are they have that site on one of there top of the line server tweaked to best of their abilities. So buy test that server one can draw some good conclusions about the network they are on.
