Seems to be Cogent network only... No peering at AMS-IX, DE-CIX or LINX (major internet exchanges)
Do they have any peering at any of their facilities? I thought it was all just Cogent and Zayo.
Yeah, I double checked. No peering anywhere. http://bgp.he.net/AS30058#_peers
Singlehomed Cogent - Sales confirmed they will not add more carriers as it is a Cogent facility.
Pretty much useless for Spanish traffic, Cogents peering with ONO and others sucks especially at peak times
Singlehomed Cogent in Spain is useless.
It might work with Jazztel or ONO (sometimes), but you'll get 80ms plus a shitty throughput between a FTTH customer of Telefonica in Madrid (>50% of the eyeballs) and Cogent. It's a pity.
From ONO
I can get a better ping to most French datacenters.
Yep, even with that far route it sucks traffic wise, i've seen KB/s speeds on 100Mbit+ ONO cable at peak (evening and morning)...
I have never read about a DC without redundant power supply and without anyone watching 24/7.
Believe me, they exist, I can name a few in Spain. I dunno about the Cogent DC.
What I still don't understand is why anyone would trust them.
It's too cheap to spent more.
I tried to avoid saying this but damn man you know every single market/provider/history/religion and almost every aspect of whatever someone says. I really hope they are paying big money for that or that at least you can capitalize that living wikiLET you have inside .
This DC (if it is the one i think, but their other one is mainly for carrier equipment and small, SoloGigabit demarc ends there and goes into a power company fiber to Valencia) itself is actually not THAT bad, Cogent acquired it many years ago along with fiber from Madrid to Paris, BCN and Valencia in a deal to expand their network in Iberia (from France, where they bought a lot of Fiber and a few DCs years before that) - It has redundant power and ACs and seems to be a fairly secure building.
Pretty bad insult try... I have a lot of Spanish friends and keep an eye on their market, simple as that.
Very funny also that your blog promotes a service (RPI colo @ EDIS) that i basically invented out of nothing as first provider worldwide for EDIS...
