Re: Provider to Blend with Level3

[Jason Canady <jason () unlimitednet us>]

Another good choice would be Cogent, AS174.  We use Cogent along with 
Level 3.  I'd say 2/3 of our traffic is on Level 3 and 1/3 on Cogent.  
It's been a great blend for us.  Justin Wilson recently made some great 
comments about Cogent on Feb 6, reference subject: Re: Input Regarding 
Cogent and NTT.

At this point, I would fully rely on Cogent for maintenance or outages 
on Level 3.  A year and a half ago, they had some problems between 
providers such as Comcast.  With Netflix getting direct connections, 
this is now resolved.
