I seem to recall reading at some point in the past couple of years here that Cogent is a bad provider for bandwidth when it comes to Game Server. Im just wondering is this still true? And why?

Thanks
Steve

It has a bit of a negative touch to some people, because it is budget.
I still favour and look at companies with bandwidh providers like AT&T, Level3, TimeWarner, GlobalCrossing etc. but it is a bit of a personal choice & something you have to try yourself.
Cogent's network has improved the last few years for sure, latencies dropped, but still I personally prefer a premium provider.

Man Rob, having you around is great. Maybe there is someway you can just have WHT auto show my questions every time you login? That would be awesome :)

Thanks again!
Steve

Hehe, Everest :wht:.

Keep in mind that it is still an opinion, maybe someone else comes by and says (s)he loves Cogent for gaming.
I will just check your profile for threads started by you then :D.

It certainly can't hurt to have it in a mix with other providers, it has improve a lot over the last few years in my opinion, getting better as it goes along.

Rob has pretty much hit the nail on the head lol. I wouldnkt just use that provider. however yes each to there own.
