Says who? Cogent in this day and age is almost an essential part of any ISP's network. It's cheap and it's pervasive. So long as your host isn't forcing you through it without some kind of semi-intelligent routing, it's no big deal in this day and age. In fact, a growing number of ISP's have direct peering with Cogent, so the latency you are talking about is almost a thing of the past. Of course there are exceptions to the rule.
Maybe we better wait for Brad Mitchell to post to make sense of all this madness. I heard he's Vint Cerf's love child.
