Here is Level 3's response...

Level 3's response

Remember, I said in a previous thread that there were some inequities in the bandwidth ratio...

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...2&page=1&pp=50

I find it amazing how many people are hating on Level 3. Again, if you had a traffic trade where you were sending 50,000 hits to someone and they were only sending you 1,000 hits back, how long would you keep that trade alive?

Oh...and NatNet doesn't use Cogent OR Level 3, so this is a purely objective viewpoint...

YARGH! That be some funny shit.

funny how many people use cogent :) the cheap way out.

its just a temporary thing...
"we will maintain this connection until 6:00 a.m. ET, November 9,
2005"

The Level3 hating is funny... there isn't a single person here who would subsidize one of their porn site competitors... so why hate on them for taking care of business?

interesting read so far...

Anyone who thinks that this is Level3's fault is wrong. Cogent sells bandwidth for $10/mbps routinely, then they push way more bandwidth than they pull over their mostly ATM network (alot of it is PSI net and Fibernetworks (in the midwest), I'm pretty sure Level3 just got tired of getting the bad end of the deal.

Who helped lower the bandwidth price over the years? Cogent ot Level 3?

Both.....without the generosity of providers that were
willing enough to setup peering agreements with Cogent.....Cogent never would
have been able to offer their prices.....they got greedy and therefor slapped
on the wrist :2 cents:
