Settlement-free peering agreements tend to be fine as long as symmetrical traffic is sustained, and that's not the case at the moment, meaning Cogent are in breach of the agreement.
So... Cogent need to re-negotiate the peering agreement with Verizon, which is what Verizon is demanding, quite fairly?
- digikata 13y agoOne of the Ars comments pointed it out: Residential service is almost all asymmetric and heavy on the download side. The residents paid for plans to deliver data in certain advertised up and down rates. Why should Verizon get the resident's to pay for the pipes, and charge yet again to deliver data downstream just because it's a popular service. Though there's a media undercurrent to treat peering disagreements separate from Net Neutrality, I think most users would differ.
