Pretty good setup, but Cogent? Eek! Those guys run the crappiest network I've ever seen. You certainly get what you pay for. And they're combining that with CloudFront? Seems like a weird combination that results in their not getting their money's worth (on Amazon's side).
- caseyf 17y agoI feel weird replying to all of these comments but here goes: We were worried about Cogent at the beginning so we only used them for delivering some static files and for non-critical outgoing traffic. It was initially an experiment - to save on our in-datacenter bandwidth and to compare with Amazon (a very inexpensive experiment) and we've been very happy with it. I think that we are doing about 20% of our traffic (+ offsite backups) over Cogent, 40% on our datacenter's fancy-pants bandwidth, and 40% on Amazon.
