Joe - see the part above where I said "...if you truely believe there are problems with cogent..."
Personally I would host the whole damn thing on cogent
What I said is actually a good suggestion... maybe you could put a little "Video Not loading? Click here dot cgi" to compare loading related "problems" to see how much you are saving/losing by using a cogent connection for content serving.
You could actually conduct a lot of stats on that right there.
ie # of people to visit the join page (on the main server) vs # of people who load the video. Compare Premium/Premium loads vs Premium/Cogent loads (where first value is the join page and second is the video clip served).
With tests like that, you could find out for yourself how well they would work for ya. I'm sure someone with a pure cogent connection out there would hook you up at cost for a little testy test.
Just trying to help ya save some money eh.
