No way they stack up against level3 or any of the other 4 big tier 1s but if you throw them in a blend with level3 there shouldn't be any issue and I wouldn't pay more the .75 cents a meg for a gig 

Thanks,

For a regional ISP looking for GigE ports in the Chicago/St. Louis area, is Cogent a reasonable solution? Our gut feeling is that they don't stack up against a Level3 or Sprint, but they are being very aggressive with pricing to try and get our business.
