Re: Go Verizon! said by BosstonesOwn:Cogent got in trouble for purposely routing traffic to peers they had a free exchange deal with. Verizon doesn't have those arrangements , Ivan is a tech who made good , he knows all the little tricks these guys pull. Maybe so, I'm not too sure what happened. Both companies twisted the facts a bit (as far as I can tell from my disadvantaged perspective), but I'm less inclined to trust Cogent since they have been in so many peering disputes (but I still think their business model is kickass, undercut everyone!  ). Any peer, though, will be mad if traffic ratios are heavily unbalanced, regardless if you're routing properly or not.
Though my above example is pretty hypothetical; no Tier 1 network provider would get in a peering dispute with Verizon unless they were ready to sign a suicide note. Verizon has quite a large footprint/customer base.
