Cogent doesn't participate in IXes at all, which is indeed a problem. HE is better than Cogent in many ways, but Cogent is still bigger. https://asrank.caida.org/ ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Darin Steffl" <darin.ste...@mnwifi.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2022 10:24:36 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] DIA Pricing HE has a better network and support than Cogent. If you can only start with one of the two, I'd go with HE first. We love their network, sales, and support. If you're picking it up in Salt Lake, they have 5 paths out vs. Cogent's 3 paths. You'll find HE performs better latency wise with better path. Please take a look at both of their network maps and you'll see how HE is more dense with more POP's, and more paths. They also peer with everyone at as many IX's as possible where Cogent does not which can lead to congested ports. http://he.net/HurricaneElectricNetworkMap.pdf https://www.cogentco.com/en/network/network-map HE is the real winner for performance and cost. https://bgp.he.net/report/exchanges#_participants On IX participation, Cogent isn't even on the TOP list at all and HE is #1 for number of IX's they're on. https://bgp.he.net/report/peers HE also has more BGP peers than any other network in the world. #1 here too. #2 is Cogent.

Every time I've asked about burstable in recent memoty the price is higher than a fixed rate port, if offered at all. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Darin Steffl Minnesota WiFi www.mnwifi.com 507-634-WiFi Like us on Facebook -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
