We have had very good luck with Cogents reliability. Now as for peers thats a different story. I will tell you that if Level 3 has two routes to you, one across Cogent and one across a dialup link (or anything else) they will send all traffic across the other link. You can see this on their looking glass with their local preference settings. Cogent burned a lot of people in the past with peering arrangements and it still shows.
