its the same as it always was, its a marketing positive. but thats because the
market is dumb.
if you wish to make your purchasing decision on 'tier-1' status thats up to you,
but i'll be looking at performance, price, strategy, service level and what type
of supplier i want for a company like mine.
cogent is cheap and you get what you pay for. level3 is mid-price, but they
really dont care much about their customers (or thats what i found). perhaps you
want better customer service or to deal with a smaller company to gain their
attention and respect.
choose your supplier based on your own criteria, not someone elses or on who has
the most marketing points.
