They had congestion problems back prior to 2005 from what I hear due to crazy overselling.
Three years ago we had a horrid time with their local POP dropping off the net every other week. I would have to call them and tell them their POP was paritioned because I only saw routes from their other local customers. About two years ago they upgraded the pop from a cisco GSR with some gig fiber leased from a local isp to a 7609/RSP720 running 10gigE on dark fiber from mccleod. Since then they have been amazing. Now they call us if there is a outage or our BGP drops. On 10/21/09, Bret Clark <bcl...@spectraaccess.com> wrote: > I always hear about Cogent having a bad rap, but where does that come > from?
