Cogent <-> Verizon peering congestion

He received a very similar response from Level3 when we complained to them about the issue.  "We have contacted VZ with no response"

We see pings go from 8ms to 110ms+ from our office FIOS to one of our data centers in San Diego....

LAX handoffs of FIOS traffic to Cogent & Level3 appears the choke points to us.
