Cogent Bandwidth is it slower?
 

Whats the deal on cogent bandwidth?

Thanks
Joe

The knock against them has been that they oversell connections and poor peering arrangements.

High latency is a result.

they oversale to keep their prices down.

Everybody oversells their connections to an extent. But they did it to the point of noticeable network slowdowns.

They appear to have gotten lot better though.

Hi Joe,

How are you ? Just wanted to Wish you a Happy New Year :)

cogent is a lot better now:thumbsup :thumbsup

YEP! Latency is a beeeotch.

Many people would disagree. The host in your sig uses Cogent, no wonder you'd post something like this.

Cogent only - never.

Cogent in a BGP mix of several other upstreams - better.

No Cogent in my upstreams configuration - best.

cogent bandwith sucks. :)

wassup with all the hahahahahaa in your sig? You may wanna fix that.. no money to be made with the haha's
