In my experience Cogent is fine when used in a BGP mix. When we used
them, our service was quite reliable. Routing was funky at times, but we
never had packet loss.

The emails on the Outages list reminded me to ask this question...
I've done some searching and haven't been able to find much in the last
3 years as to their reliability and suitability as an upstream provider.
For a regional ISP looking for GigE ports in the Chicago/St. Louis area,
is Cogent a reasonable solution? Our gut feeling is that they don't
stack up against a Level3 or Sprint, but they are being very aggressive
with pricing to try and get our business.
Thanks,
