One caveat about Cogent even as a third or extra provider. Because of disputes with eyeball networks, there is significant congestion at peering points with Cogent. We saw consistent 5-10% packet loss over many months traversing Cogent through to Charger, Cox and Verizon as well as others. For web access and even streaming video, with buffers, this might not be an issue. But for corporate use with VOIP and/or VPNs, it was a killer. We had to cancel our Cogent service and work with our remaining providers to de-preference Cogent completely. ---- Matthew Huff | 1 Manhattanville Rd Director of Operations | Purchase, NY 10577 OTA Management LLC | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-694-5669
