Who's in carolina?

Yup I am currently in the process of moving all our servers that were on cogent by client request to a much better network. We are already getting praise from our clients about the new connection(CableWireless/Internap/Williams/Nac). I had heard the rumors of bw increasing by leaving cogent....now I see the proof. With the prices out there by noncogent providers there really isnt a reason to be on cogent anymore, I am not going to state the reasons as they have all been listed in here already.

Well, despite the hostilities I'd say there was some productive information in this thread about Cogent. Best of luck to everyone!

your sig is down.

Here's another comparison for you. I loaded exactly the same page to 2 of my dedicated boxes. Box One is 100% Cogent out of California. Box Two is 0% Cogent and 100% multihomed Verios, Sprint, ...out of Texas. The cogent box is a Pentium 1000, Multihomed box is a Pentium 4 2000. The cogent box has more traffic, so it is under more stress. You will see that there is minimal difference between the 2.

BOX ONE - Cogent: (Average time - 8 seconds) Tested from 10 locations across U.S. and worldwide
1st number = connect time
2nd = transfer time
3rd = total download time

That guy knows his shit and has the vision. Not to kiss any ass or anything but he's on top of his game.

I think that after doing some extensive research, Global Crossing probably has the best international backbone of anyone out there. It's not just a fancy name. I know some guys that are burning mad GBLX bandwidth and they wouldn't still be there if it wasn't good. I think they still have wicked peering arrangements left over from when they hosted Yahoo and their deal with Exodus. The only thing is that I think they're still in bankruptcy, which does hamper long term planning. Cogent seems to be a satisfactory dirt cheap solution - especially if you don't need the far out international stuff.

After thinking about it I'm thinking I should move our galleries to Swift... Hmmmmm... Got space for Got Jizz?

BUY MY CONTENT. At least SEE my content, you'll fall in love with it. There's a reason that all the major programs use us, and that's RETENTION. It's porn crack for left handed surfers.

I always got space for mikey ! Contact me and I'll set you up.

Thanks for the back up, btw, you NEED to contact me down at internext, Gonna throw some killer parties w/ some o me buddies

BTW, if anyone wants Gx, I can get you setup in most places in the continental U.S on my network... if you get it in Seattle or Vancouver (Canada) I can get you the best deal tho. Needs to be like 50mbps+ tho.

Check my sig to contact me.
