RE: [isp-bandwidth] Om Malik supports throttling, gets flamed [Cogent rant]
I don't get it...Cogent dealt with you in bad faith...It's 1 page
billing.  You sign up for a service, we bill you..and you pay for the
service.  If there are some other issues regarding something you were
promised, then it should be in your contract and it must be honored.  

Rick...I'm sorry this happened to you. I'd like to know why your credit
was refused...but if it was escalated, there probably isn't anything new
I can suggest.  Good luck in your business.

[Cogent rant]

Enough with random Cogent marketing/sales pitches here. Everybody on
this
list knows Cogent is there. I didn't mind your cheap bandwidth, sure it
has some weird hiccups and little trouble-shooting ability or packet
filtering/management for their customers. But hey, its cheap and
generally
works!

Now, the problem comes with your billing and other customer
service/management. Support did its job but in regards to their contract
negotiations and billing I received bad faith dealing and was treated
like
crap and I'm not alone with this on this list. They dealt with me in bad
faith.

Commercial real estate is similar, slumlords treat their tenants like
they
are expendable because the landlords assume they can't afford to go
anywhere better. This was the way I was treated by Cogent.
