Confirmation from their CEO that Cogent shut down service in Russia due to increased use of the connections for cyberattacks, and because only $10m in rev came from Russia. Cogent had no equipment in Russia. Details: https://youtu.be/l_x2LQZOzF8 Ms. Lady Benjamin PD Cannon of Glencoe, ASCE 6x7

Those, as well as cable and label tags with the NOC nunber, are worth their weight in gold to be honest. Almost any telco should give you a Right of Entry agreement that codified things like insurance, etc. It’s “our gear” so of course we are responsible for it, but you should codify it in an
