Cogent and Sprint Break the Internet!

Cogent and Sprint Break the Internet

Tens of thousands of public internet addresses located on www.murdok.org.

This breakage can be viewed at Telia, one of the largest backbones in Europe. Cogent has also had peering problems with fall of 2005 resulting in network breakage.

There is no word from Cogent as to when service will be restored.

Update! Read the PR Newswire report here.

Another Update; I have heard from Matthew Sullivan of Sprint who had this to say:

"Jay – I saw your “Sprint pulls the plug on Cogent…” story earlier tonight, and I’d like to offer a few comments on behalf of Sprint if you have an opportunity to update your article.

As you noted, Cogent is no stranger to peering disputes, and any statements by Cogent referencing “negotiations” or “pulling the plug” are tactics to deflect attention from the real issue relating to a contract that was agreed to and signed by both parties.

We simply want Cogent to honor the terms of an agreed upon contract. Also, we’ve provided Cogent with ample opportunity to honor its contract with Sprint or make alternate connectivity arrangements. "
