cogent is infinitely better than they were 3 years ago. like many business who have reinvented themselves, they suffer the burdon of carrying around a bad outdated reputation.

does cogent compete with level3 or the likes of other premier bandwidth providers, of course not. You still pay for what you get, but you can successfully run a site on cogent these days and not see a major adverse affect from it, imo.

there are a ton of other low end bandwidth solutions like yipes and williams that are equal to cogent that just don't have the stigma that comes with the cogent name, but provide similar quality. So really you just have to ask yourself what do you want to pay, because at each price point, you're going to end up with a similar bandwidth solution.
