We have GTT bandwidth. They are reliable, responsive and have a fairly
large global reach with their acquisitions. I have nothing bad to say
about them.
We also have AT&T MIS bandwidth. It is very reliable. And very
expensive. The field and technical folks know their stuff. The
corporate/management people are arrogant assholes. Typical AT&T.

Yeah that pricing for Cogent is likely “promo” pricing to get you
locked in – that’s if you like Cogent at all.
Back to the quality vs price discussion – that’s the point where I
remove HE and Cogent from the discussion … yes, have both of them in
our mix and neither are great in my opinion. If I had to choose
between the two of them (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) then HE
I find better now than Cogent – a few years ago it was the other way
around.
GTT I like – lately, I’ve heard some rumblings from long term
customers but haven’t seen anything.
Level(3) I like a lot – their customer service/NOC is horrible but the
network itself is solid.
TATA – really dislike
The list goes on and on … currently we have TATA, LLNW (disconnecting
soon), GTT/TiNet, Level(3), HE, and Cogent. This does not include
peering though where there is significant growth for us…

Cogent's intro rate for 1G is $700, so I'd hold out for that even if
you're going to use a radio that only moves 100Mbps.
If the cost is the same, why not get more bandwidth so it's one less
thing to worry about when you need it?
Also, once you become a Cogent customer they are very reluctant to let
you have the 1G/$700 price.

The price of bandwidth is what is attracting me to the idea
He quoted. 100/100 for less than 700/mo
I'm paying that for 20/20 and almost to my max now
