    Good morning,
            I'm considering dropping Cogent completely out of my transit mix, as
    the number of outages and problems they have been experienced over the past
    year has reached an unacceptable level. It has gotten to the point that we
    their BGP session is shutdown for longer periods than it is on. Based on the
    availability of on-net fiber in my facility, I have narrowed the field to
    the following candidates:

    1. Level 3
    2. MCI/Verizon
    3. AT&T

    I'm looking for comments from actual customers of the above providers in
    relation to;

    1. Network reliability and performance
    2. Responsiveness to outages
    3. Proactive notification of network maintenance

    95% of our traffic mix is US48 in nature, so International routes are not a
    huge decision point.
