Due to this some cheap webmasters are getting tired of always having to move hosts everytime some guy comes along and offers some rediculas cheap deal, or some cheap host disappears or has to many downtimes and filally these people are willing to pay a few more bucks to upgrade to a Quality Host that operates with a sound, solid and prudent business model. This is just my opinion based on what MANY people have been telling me when they are telling me about their past experiences with their old cheap hosts.
What will this do to cogent? AR was cogents biggest customer, there network will get a lot lighter and they are about to offer deals.
