Cogent didn't go bankrupt and prices didn't go back up....instead they kept falling like a drunk guy walking through an oil slick.....and odds are they will continue to do that.

Pardon me if I don't believe the predictions about bandwidth pricing at $4/meg being a temporary thing that will only last until the people offering it go bankrupt.

This thread from 6 years ago was spot on at that time. This old 'rant' has nothing in common with the current AR situation. Nice try! Great bump

How can you say that your current rant has nothing in common with this rant and keep a straight face and expect people to take you seriously?

The only major differences are the numbers ($40 per meg instead of $4 per meg) and the year in which the thread was started.

6 years ago Cogent was an entirely different network not build to support hosters like it is today. Cogent is currently a world class network, everything is different now. If you re-read the original post, I was explaining how they came to be. Even back then, it was mostly hosts improper sales/use/delivery of Cogent that contributed to huge to the negative stigma attached with it as a network.
