    customers have some say over whats what.. at least one of my transits is using a /30 we assign

    to be honest i'd be suspicious if 'most ' nets are from cogent as thats not indicative of an equal peering relationship

    they still buy from verio and they have /30s with them also:
    58.13.54.154.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer verio.sjc03.atlas.cogentco.com.

    (of course, that may be a peer port too.. this is all conjecture! as patrick says the adjacencys are the interesting thing, not the $$)
