Another good source for Cogent bandwidth is Host2Own.
For all the naysayers, there is a reason that cogent bandwidth is cheaper. One being that cogent owns their own network. Plus their network is based on fiber optics, not copper...which equals increased capacity per line.
Just like conventional bw, there are good hosts and then there are bad hosts that oversell their lines, use inferior routers,...
I have recently added a dedicated server connected to a dedicated cogent 10mbps line. On head to head tests (using tracert.com)against almost any of the hosts that regularily pop up on this board, my cogent sites perform admirably.
