Rediculous statements like this make me sick - Stop playing high school trendy games try joining reality and learn the truth.
They are a 1 tier provider there a lot worse.
they have just as good uptimes as any of there competition.
The real difference is slightly slower pings because they stay on there own network.
95% of the time you would never notice the differance. In fact I ran yipes with a membership site with 1500 + members on a 5 meg line and switched them to cogent because of a move. Their customers emailed them to say how much faster the videos were running with the same size pipe. Don't be a follower get the facts!
What really matters is to make sure you get good specs P4 1.8 + processor 1 gig of ram if you want to stream video.
The next big factor is the size of the pipe your on if someone's branching a 5 gig line you will defiantly have slow times. if you host is good they will tell what you need and you can decide from there.
I spoke with level three and qwest yesterday to get a breakdown of where there going price wise, promotions, ect. Even they admitted that Cogent is a better value and they will be trying to compete with there prices.
Not to mention several cooperate web hosting companies are using them for 100,000's of accounts for years and know the same things about reality.
I wish people would quit playing high school trends and get the facts for once.
Just my two cents
Good Luck
