Hi,
We're a small ISP / datacenter with a Time Warner fiber-based DIA
contract
that is coming up for renewal.
We're getting much better pricing offers from Cogent, and are
finding out
what Level 3 can do for us as well. Both providers will use Time
Warner
fiber for last mile.
My questions are:
- Will we be sacrificing quality if we spring for Cogent?
(yesterday's Cogent/Verizon thread provided some cold chills for my
spine)
- Is there a risk with contracting a carrier that utilizes
another
carrier (such as Time Warner) for the last mile? (i.e. if there is a
downtime situation, are we going to be caught in a web of confusion
and
finger-pointing that delays problem resolution)?
- How are peoples' experiences with L3 vs TWC?
Although I assume everyone on the list would be interested in what
others
have to say about these questions, out of respect for the carriers
in
question, I encourage you to email frank opinions off list.
Or if there are third party tools or resources you know that I could
consult
to deduce the answers to these questions myself, they are most
welcome.
Thanks,
Adam
