Re: Cogent/Level 3 depeering

In the end, both providers lose, as customers buy real Internet transit from someone else.

OTOH, the industry as a whole probably gains. I have a client who's massively overprovisioned, multihomed with multiple Ts each to 3 or 4 providers now after being bitten a couple years ago when singlehomed to C&W and they depeered PSI. Funny that those PSI customers are getting screwed again now.

I guess the earlier reports of (3)'s lack of testicular fortitude may have
been exagerated after all. :)


It's sure causing a few headaches here.
