Cogent ...

Hmmm....

Spring has sprung and the waft of drivel from a new season Cogent salesdroid filled my telephone earpiece today.

I've never liked the Cogent way of business and my understanding of their IP transit is that it falls into the "cheap 
for a reason" category.

However, perhaps someone would care to elaborate (either on or off-list) what the deal is with the requirement to sign 
NDAs with Cogent before they'll discuss things like why they still charge for BGP, or indeed any other technical or 
pricing matters. Seems weird ?!?
