Dec 4, 2002 : Cogent Rolls Out 2-Mbit PSINet Service
📅 - Optical ISP Cogent Communications (CogentCo.com) announced on Tuesday that it is rolling out a new low-cost, high-quality 2 Megabit product through its PSINet label.
The dedicated, non-oversubscribed Internet access product, says Cogent, will be available in the three PSINet data centers located in Los Angeles, New York City and Herndon, VA, and will be bundled with a full rack for a flat rate of $1,000 per month.
"Our PSINet product line is now being extended beyond the T1 and T3 Type II circuit connections to a new level of service that does not touch the telcos. Since a voice-based network is not involved, Cogent can provide a higher level of performance for a lower price than can be offered by traditional ISPs," said Dave Schaeffer, CEO Cogent Communications. "This 2 megabits of all-optical, dedicated bandwidth fills a need for a higher performance/higher quality Internet connection."
Along with the dedicated 2 Mb Internet access product, says Cogent, customers will receive a full rack space, including a fast Ethernet port, two 20-amp circuits, uninterruptible power, secure facilities and full environmental controls.
Cogent acquired the data centers along with other US assets of PSINet in April 2002 as a way to extend its reach beyond the company's traditional network footprint.
