Cogent has many problems, first, yes they are having a few money issues and will most likely not be around to much longer. Their connectivity from many router points sucks.
You do get what you pay for. If you just think about it it doesnt take a rockett scientist to see through the Cogent smoke. If it were even remotely possible to sell Quality bandwidth at their prices, then the Main providers (Level3, Verio, AT&T UUNet etc....) would be doing it.
What I have been seeing lately is that the only people that say Cogent is ok are those cheapies using them, (usually the newbie free hosts). But the Big Guys that are not using them all agree that it's a bad deal, and these people can just as eaisly be using them, but choose not to...So that should tell you something.
