Ugh, more debt for Cogent. How are they going to survive? They are already having problems getting customers in a lot of the buildings they have already lit.
Should be interesting to see what will happen!Mike @ Xiolink.com

Rackmy, have you seen their last quarter's results? Because, according to them they really don't have problems getting customers...

I have faith in cognet... don't know why others don't. I doubt they would want to be the next WorldCom, and everybody wants cheap bandwidth. I have a feeling they are in this for a longterm goal... Go Cognet

Walmart is profitable. It doesn't make it a great place to shop.

Let's not forget what happened to Yipes. And another wannabee that shall remain nameless because it has kept the name and came out scott-free from chapter 7

Isn't Yipes profitable though? I heard that they came out of bankruptcy. Nevertheless, I wish Cogent will survive.

almost
After yipes restructure, most of their markets are completely profitable they also have a huge new line of financing, more then i can say for cogent on both accounts. Thats not to say i dont hope cogents does fine, theres alot of people on cogent and id hate to see them all go out of business because cogent made bad business decisions.

I worked for a competitor of Yipes and ally of Cogent, that went out of business. Let's just say I'd never work again for a telecom company.

am definitely not anti-cogent, but its time they got their house in order. what is the use of "growing" your business when you cant handle your existing clients?
example:
http://samspade.org/t/trace?a=internettotal.net
when they fix all those dns errors, we'll talk.

Looks like you just invited them. Why are you looking for trouble?

I was exicted to hear that my local University, Northern Michigan University, will be served by Cogent bandwidth through Michigan's Merit network. I'm really hoping I have an opportunity to tap into this locally, as there really are no affordable options out here in the sticks.
So I did a traceroute from my Charter Cable Modem to www.nmu.edu.:

Neat! I take trip all the way out to California!
Know how far NMU's webserver is from my house? About 10 miles.
