About time they jacked the prices a little (or a lot more).

I would think yahoo would be better then your local network operations center (better backbone connections etc). When was the last time you seen yahoo down?? That's what you pay for! :)

From a DoS attack??? Or just a simple network outage??

[Moonman]

I think it was a server reboot, but it was still down.

A server reboot?? I'm talking about the actual connection. It's my understanding that they have a few freebsd boxes (10+), so I don't think a server reboot would cause that. :confused2 Maybe a routing (or other) problem between your ISP and them??

Just a question, but where did you get all those prices?

Rumour has it that they're being raised to $60.00/mbps.

Honestly, though I'd take it as a grain of salt because it's just a rumour so anything could happen...:p

Those prices are not too accurate.

Verio and TW Telecom are a lot cheaper than that when you commit to Gig-e lines. I also find it hard to believe that an internap 100mbps pipe is cheaper than a TW telecom pipe.

Where did you get a hold of those prices anyways? I'm guessing you contacted a sales rep and you signed an NDA? That's the only way if you want accurate up-to-date quotes...

InterNAP prices varies ... i was quoted all these prices before the MCI/Worldcom crash ... i will get an up to date quote next time i speak to the reps about one thing or anyone :D

[Master_tee]

i see why hosts use cogent lol

[9cy]

If cogent does do the price rise's there won't be that big a difference between them and some higher quality providers.... It'll be fun to see what all the 99$ cogent only server providers do about it all.

If they jack the price, and still have the same crappy network, there will be a big difference between them and higher quality provider. To me, right now, it seems like they are not making enough money. So, if they charge more, they might be able to break even. But, they still have the crappy network. If they upgrade it'll cost them more money, and they will continue to be in the hole. Soo...

1) Jack price, keep network and break even.
2) Jack price, upgrade network (costs money) and won't break even.

Either way, they will still be a low level provider to me. Time will tell how long cogent can stay up.

I really don't think it will affect them all that much when you really think of it. Most people don't use the full allocated amout of bandwidth, so they will continue to resell the unused bandwidth. If the customer does use the full amout of transfer sold, I think it would also be funny to watch all the prices rise (SP -> Host -> Customer).
