thank god

Those few days when they de-peered sucked. I would say at lease 10% of my daily sites stopped working and i was unable to access work as we use cogent as one of our isp's and i was not rerouted to our at&t link.

Confidential agreement?

Confidential agreement? Ummm...anyone else smell sexual activities? The only reason why it would be "confidential" is because they are hiding something.

Sorry, the sexual refrence is from the title "Cogent, Sprint Kiss, Make Up" and in the article "...how simple carrier lovers' quarrels...".

Re: thank god

I'd agree, that cutoff was a pain. I was at a resort that used both Verizon DSL and a Sprint T1 as their ISP for the free Wi-Fi. Most of the time until the T1 was down I would be sent through that, and over at that place, that meant that I could not get onto FileFront for game patches or news, and I had to press reload until it sent me down the Verizon line. Even so, a few other sites as well got messed up. Glad to hear they got an agreement though.

Re: Confidential agreement?

Confidential because Cogent wanted settlement-free but didn't get it. Sprint, for its part, likely agreed to accept some subset of what it would charge for transit to do a paid peering arrangement. Cogent saves face, Sprint gets paid. Everyone's happy.

A more likely outcome..
Sprint got zilch and doesn't want to advertise it..
It was Sprint customers who requested Content from servers hosted on Cogent connectivity..
