Cogent's bandwidth is actually very high quality bandwidth now, and their tech support is great.. Cogent's current problem is their company's internal operational structure is a mess and clueless. Dispute resolution is impossible, and sales reps are powerless to help their clients.. (Its a shame, they have some good sales reps over there, that try real hard and deserve better.)
But Cogent isn't the low ball transit provider anymore in colos. Cogent is still one of the lower few for standalone buildings at 100mbps. But there are lots of Gig-E providers that are cheaper now..
