Cogent Router dropping packets

Fri Apr 18 00:33:34 UTC 2008

Same here... frequent packet loss.  We had Cogent GigE service for about
9 months if I recall - more than one major outage per month and packet
loss issues at least once a week.

You get what you pay for (within reason)....

Cogent frequently have routing and packet loss issues. I can't imagine 
VoIP over their network is all that appealing to most people. Last time 
I used Cogent I had a problem approx. every month, and I purchased 
transit from them.

Good luck :-)
