I've used Cogent for years and have never been asked to sign an NDA with
them.
Of the 4 providers I use regularly they are the second highest price so
I wouldn't consider them cheap any more either.
There's no better or worse than any transit provider these days.

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 ?!?
