They got into a spat with Telia a few months back. Severed those
portions of the Internet that they serve from each other for about a
week, disrupting all customers who depended on them exclusively.
Similar situation with Cogent and Level 3 a couple years ago. I
wouldn't count on it not to happen again.
They're dirt cheap. If you have an ability to control the routing of
your non-interactive traffic (such as email and downloads), Cogent can
save you big bucks. If you have three upstreams and one of them isn't
Cogent, you may be missing a trick.
I don't think I'd pick them as my #1 or #2.
