You might see some caching benefit from adding more RAM, but if it's just a general file server, it can be more cost effective to use SSD caching instead of adding a ton of RAM.

Yes, it may be an explanation, but the end result is that the only people being negatively affected by this are Cogent customers. I don't know which party is being the bully here.
