For those who are interested in what is going on with Cyberwings, I emailed Cogent yesterday requesting information.
I received a response today from someone within the company.
I forwarded this email to about a dozen people, before someone suggested I post here.
Additionally, I forwarded that email in a raw unedited form, so names were not changed nor was my contact information. Below is the slightly modified form (things enclosed in *'s are edited*) just in case.
The top part is their response, way at the bottom is my original email:

They have indeed placed an order with us, not certain if it has been
activated yet, but if not will be in the next week or so.
Thank you

-Their question is:
As you may or may not be aware of, Cyberwings recently "temporarily" shut
down its hosting service. They haven't provided an adequate explanation,
but have noted that negotiations with Lightship have failed, and have caused
them to have to relocate.
Their current claim is that they are relocating to an unspecified location
in Virginia with T-3 lines provided by AT&T and Sprint, and a 100Mbps line
provided by you, Cogent.
As of yet, the CEO of Cyberwings has not provided any concrete evidence of
this supposed move. As such, many of us, the customers, are rigorously
trying to find out as much as possible regarding this move.
Do you know if Cyberwings, or Shawn White have indeed contracted a 100mbps
line from you and whether or not it is indeed active as Shawn White claims?
Thank you.
