Advanced switched can blend bandwidth in many ways. What a lot of companies do is switch you connection over to cogent when it gets busy, just for certain connections by location, or to balance out the end of the month spending.
It's not hard to bury cogent where the connection is not ever seen.
You just have to trust your isp, it's good idea to have this anyways, since they can cheat your bandwidth in many more ways then sneaking in cogent.
Basically anyone who says they use a cogent backup is blending them especially rack shack, they even prove it by showing you how much cogent is being used on their public mrtg. Unless there network goes down for thousands of customers everyday they are throwing Cogent in when they want.
Their mrtg shows about 60 megs a day through Cogent yet they don't offer one pure cogent plan???
Nothing against rackshack, they where mentioned so I used them for the example.
Your better off finding a friend that runs servers so you know you are getting the truth even if it's not what you want to hear.
