BTW, You trash them on overselling... do you know of any DIRECT cogent clients who weren't able to get the amount of bandwidth they paid for? (minus network overhead of course)
I don't.
However, I know alot of providers who were DIRECT with them who oversold the shit out of that cheap bandwidth while they were undercutting any and all competitors who were NOT using cogent.
