I give Cogent a year before they bit it.

Unless they raise prices significantly. Yipes has a much better
Gig-E network and higher prices and they are losing money...

Ya cant sell dollar bills for 50 cents and expect to make any money. And the big Tier-1 providers are starting to roll out
there own Gig-E Networks. Plus there Networks Kick Ass
compared to cogents only public peering. Its just a matter of
time.

Are you going to release SinHosting soon :D ?
