When AOL de-peered Cogent, they got to AOL via Above.Net.  But that  
was a long time ago.

When Teleglobe de-peered Cogent, Teleglobe turned the peering back  
on.  I guess Cogent's attitude of "this hurts you more than me" worked.

When FT de-peered Cogent, Cogent bought (more) transit from Verio.
