Cogent Offering Burstable Bandwidth.
2006-04-03, HostMan.biz Cogent Communications Group, Inc., a multinational, Tier One Internet Service Provider (ISP), announced today that it is offering a new feature that will redefine the industry standard for burstable bandwidth service. For excess bandwidth usage, customers will be billed at a 90th percentile instead of at the current industry norm of the 95th percentile. By billing the service at the 90th percentile, Cogent continues to lead the industry on price and now provides even more competitive pricing to customers whose bandwidth requirements vary from month to month. This is an especially compelling benefit for customers such as universities, online gaming and other web-based content providers that tend to experience event-driven or seasonal spikes in Internet traffic. Nth Percentile calculation is a mathematical algorithm that most large service providers employ to calculate monthly bills for customers of burstable service in order to accommodate peaks above baseline service agreements. Most service providers, including Cogent, measure bandwidth levels every 5 minutes over the course of a month for all customers. Cogent's 90th percentile billing throws out the highest 10% of bandwidth usage peaks versus the 5% offered by other ISPs. This translates into lower bills for Cogent customers. "Cogent has been the price leader in the industry since we began to sell our Internet access service in 2000. We leverage our advanced technology and simplified internal systems to provide customers with high quality service at the lowest commodity-based pricing in the industry. As bandwidth demand increases significantly through the growth of applications such as VoIP, IPTV and video on demand, Cogent will continue to lead the industry by providing unprecedented value to other service providers and corporate end users," said Dave Schaeffer, CEO of Cogent Communications. Cogent's 90th percentile billing goes into effect today. The 90th percentile offer is made to new customers looking to get more value out of their Internet service. |
