Level 3 is great to its customers, especially Telecom Malaysia. Why are you disconnecting Limelight? We're in the process of bringing them on our IX.

Back to the quality vs price discussion – that’s the point where I remove HE and Cogent from the discussion … yes, have both of them in our mix and neither are great in my opinion. If I had to choose between the two of them (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) then HE I find better now than Cogent – a few years ago it was the other way around. GTT I like – lately, I’ve heard some rumblings from long term customers but haven’t seen anything. Level(3) I like a lot – their customer service/NOC is horrible but the network itself is solid. TATA – really dislike The list goes on and on … currently we have TATA, LLNW (disconnecting soon), GTT/TiNet, Level(3), HE, and Cogent. This does not include peering though where there is significant growth for us… Paul From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Jon Auer Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2015 1:19 PM To: Animal Farm Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Data center bandwidth Cogent's intro rate for 1G is $700, so I'd hold out for that even if you're going to use a radio that only moves 100Mbps. If the cost is the same, why not get more bandwidth so it's one less thing to worry about when you need it? Also, once you become a Cogent customer they are very reluctant to let you have the 1G/$700 price.
