yeah i know what you mean, some sales rep sucks however there are descent ones who know what they sell. I got some bandwidth from swiftway too and they are decent, the only thing with cogent you cannot contact them directly so you need swiftway to open ticket for you which sucks a bit

You aren't dealing with the right people then
Cogent is notorious for turning over their front line sales staff in a rather cyclical pattern, get a contact higher up the chain and you'll find a totally different experience.
My post history will show I'm not a Cogent fanboy by any means but their network has improved and we gave it a trial run in one site. It worked out well and we and have since been bringing them into the mix in all our locations.

On the other side, i can assure you that we will get things done much faster with Cogent then the average Cogent client will do by going directly.
You will not get better prices by going to Cogent directly, a reseller will always be cheaper to deal with. Besides, resellers can give you consistent low pricing while carrier reps have to rely on end of quarter specials, that often are valid only for new customers.
Thank you for the recommendation.Last edited by swiftnoc; 09-12-2012 at 04:18 AM.

1. Not sure why we are worried about NDAs, when Cogent is calling and trying to take get us to drop our reseller (by name) and buy direct from them. Isnt Cogent breaking the NDA by cherry picking the resellers customers?
2. Did anyone notice the links under this topic? Amazing Level(3) Pricing! $32/mbps on Full FastE! From 2004.
Too funny!!
BTW, in 1999 we were selling bandwidth on a 10 mbps port for $3,000 / mbps.
3. A 10 gig port with a 1 gig commit for $1k per month ANYWHERE? I will take one in Dubai please

Not going after your customer's business is a matter of ethics really than anything else

Ding ding ding. I'm really sick of cogent quoting me a great price when I don't need bandwidth, and then quoting a price 10x higher when I'm actually ready to buy (calling me on the phone every few days in between). It makes it impossible to include Cogent in my business strategy planning. We're using providers right now that are significantly more expensive simply because when it's time to buy the price is still what I was told it would be. The fact this thread even exists is proof of that. You don't see a "what's the real price of he.net" thread pop up every month or two.
For business planning reasons alone I'm far more comfortable with a reseller like swiftway. And the price is right too.IOFLOOD.com -- We Love Servers

Have any existing Cogent customers been able to take advantage of this deal?

GigLinx, Splice, Swiftway.. have all been around for many years. Resellers at scale aren't fly by night operations.
That said, as with anything there are pros and cons both in going direct or through a reseller. A mixed approach may be practical. And pay attention to your MSA.Getting Cloudy in the US, Europe, & South Asia.

Level3 and GBLX - well i am sure a good reseller can give you
A. Much better price
B. Much faster service
C. Stricter enforcement of their SLA policies due to leverage
Level3 is not very fond of small customers (just my observation and experience working with 100+ networks we manage and 500+ networks we sell BW to) and will not admit to their screw ups or honor their SLA policies if such a party files the evidence and asks for a review or escalation.
Tinet - A good reseller can give you a better price. For the rest, no comments as all looks well.
Nlayer - See Level3 comments with removal of Point C.
Nlayer really is not fast if you do not escalate a ticket - 6 to 12 hours NOC response time for endusers is not an exception.
We (and our customers) really love their network communities and how much you can fine-tune outgoing traffic going through their network.
Our experience:
Networks where resellers make relatively low impact (pricing only): PCCW, TINET (now called Intelliquent)
Networks where resellers make very significant impact on service levels, price, performance, service (etc) Telia, Telefonica, Cogent, Nlayer (now GTT) , Level3, TPSA, DTAG, Opentransit, HE.net, KPN and BTLast edited by swiftnoc; 09-12-2012 at 06:04 PM.
