  1. Karma Whoring.. by iamsure · · Score: 2 · on 100Mbps Internet Access For $1000 Per Month

    For all the people asking if they REALLY can keep that level of bandwidth going, it looks like they can. From their faq page:

    The Cogent Communications Network is a facilities based, end-to-end optical system. We have metropolitan OC48 rings in 20 major cities tied together via a national backbone designed to operate at OC192 speeds implementing an IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Cisco Powered Network.

    20 OC48's would keep up very nicely.

    Now, my question is what kind of money do they want for the install?

    If you take the time to look at their website:

    Cogent has many distinct market advantages to enhance your real estate investment... from
    this page.

    This is being marketed as something to install in the apartment building you own, not really as a personal connection to the internet.

    On the other hand, considering building managment, do you really want the building super to also be your sysadmin?

  3. Website by SUWAIN · · Score: 1 · on Fiber Optics Lines Can Offer Much More
    I tried to find the website by randomly trying things, like cogent.com. Nope. Cogent.net? No.

    Finally, a google.com search turned this up: www.cogentco.com. Bingo.

    Just thought it was odd that the site wasn't mentioned anywhere here.
