They don't buy transit anymore:

In my book, that's Tier-1, marketing BS aside. Yes, they have paid-peering, but that's not transit.
I stand corrected. As of June 26th, 2008 they appear to be a tier 1 network by the book definition. Cogent is definitely not a bad provider, I would just never want to be single homed to them. Cogent is a perfect fit for a second or third provider. Bang for the buck is quite high.

I just stumbled upon that Renesys blog today. I like it quite a bit.

Their other article about Cogent not sucking is really good:

At work we recently were dabbling in metro ethernet stuff. I have never, ever had a harder time trying to give people money. ConEd/RCN business, I'm looking right at you. How can you not know if you have f*cking equipment in a building or not????
