What do you expect from AOL

Personally I think AOL is trying to get money out of them because they are probably the smallest company they work with. Plus if Cogent knew they weren't up to par wouldn't you think they would try and work something out instead of just walking away like AOL said. To fishy to believe AOL was trying to help them, more like trying to squeeze them alittle bit for some money.

hi,

i'm not knowledgeable about peering relationships but it seems to me from a business standpoint that AOL's position is a legitimate one. afterall, the myriad of small ISPs have to pay the behemoths like level 3, etc...for access to the internet. just like those small isps, if cogent is not big enough, it can't share in the freebies the larger joints enjoy. is David instead trying to get a free lunch?
