Cogent

Cogent Believes in Keeping it Simple, Real Simple. From our flat rate pricing to our flexible contracts, we make it an easy decision to switch to Cogent Communications. Never before has an ISP built its own network from the ground up specifically for data traffic. By not riding on top of a voice network like the all other ISPs do, Cogent is free to operate on its own principles, not those traditionally set by telcos. Cogent's philosophy is based on the premise that we are in a commodity business where the commodity is the cost to take one bit of data and switch (move) it one mile. Cogent's Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network enables us to literally give people as much bandwidth as they could want because on Cogent's network, technology has made bandwidth plentiful and cheap.

Cogent has built its Layer 3 (data layer) network from the ground up in a series of connected rings. Each ring has two traffic paths, one going East and one going West. If a fiber is cut, the routers detect the cut and reroute the traffic around the ring in the other direction, restoring the communication within 1 second. This very scenario was put to the test in Manhattan on September 11th and as a result of Cogent's architecture, we were the only ISP that did not experience an interruption in service in lower Manhattan. From the metro ring located in a central business district to a backbone ring the size of 5 states, you're protected through and through.
