    I'm just trying to find out if it's a good deal or not. I heard others got it for 100€ for 1G

    It should be closer to $100-150/month for 1G on 10G

    We were quoted $600 for 10G flat port in Frankfurt

    Cogent - Phone and email spammers. Idiots. Buy if you like to receive weekly calls and spam emails ask if you would like to buy more.

    Is HE even cheaper than this?

    Cogent is willing to do 2x10G ports and such for around the same cost whereas HE only does flat ports. HE could be slightly cheaper depending on the commit.

    Really? On a 12-month term? That's very good.

    FDCServers might be willing to do that price on a month-to-month term. Not sure if they still resell Cogent, but that used to be the list price that they had and they purely resold Cogent.

    Does Nuremberg apply?

    I feel Like everything is possible at Cogent.

    Ive got a 100G full flat rate Port quote way more cheaper then fdcservers in Amsterdam

    Cant tell Price due to possible NDA we might sign. Still have to decide between Cogent and ZET. For now im Processing Network upgrade to Juniper MX960-Prem3. So that decision is in 1-2 months. Will see.

    That’s a terrible price. If you pay more than $300/m (including the $50 BGP) fee per 10G, you’re being ripped off.

    HE will go as low as $400/m for 10G flat if you accept a 5 year term. YMMV.

    I'm trying to figure out how much it would cost for them to give me an uplink in Nuremberg, Germany. They are on the same data center as me. I'm not sure about the pricing, so I'm seeking advice here. They are quoting 250€ for hosting and 50€ for BGP. Is it normal to pay around 100-150€ for this kind of service?

  • Hey im Dave, Dave Shafer from Cogent.
    Some guys just call me Mr Tier 1.
    I recommend you just pick that up that sweet offer big boy. :smile:

    You can get them to do $249.9 for 10G flat, $50 BGP, and in some cases if you’ve got a fat enough account they’ll waive BGP fees entirely, but in your case expect $300 USD for 10G flat with BGP.

  • Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with FDCServers for reselling Cogent? I'd really appreciate any insights or feedback. Thanks!
