Cogent Communications Launches Special Pricing Program for Cable
Companies WASHINGTON, July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cogent
Communications Group, Inc. (AMEX:COI), a multinational Tier 1
Internet service provider, announced today that it is making a
unique offer to cable companies interested in testing Cogent's high
quality Internet service without the risk of a long term commitment
other providers require. Recently ranked as the largest Ethernet
service provider in the United States, Cogent's new "Zero Commit"
offer will help cable companies improve margins in their consumer
broadband access businesses. Cogent's "Zero Commit" program allows
the cable customer to cancel service within thirty (30) days of
service initiation for any reason. The cable customer will pay only
for the full first month of service charges but will be credited
back any installation charges already paid. (Logo:

to Cogent's low cost structure and all-IP network architecture, you
can have it both ways -- low cost and high quality. Current Cogent
customers enjoy this today. They tell us overwhelmingly that our
price, network performance, and customer service are the attributes
they most value from Cogent," said Reed Harrison, President and
Chief Operating Officer. "We want to make it as easy as we possibly
can for new customers to have the opportunity to 'test drive'
Cogent's price/performance." "We see a huge opportunity in the
consumer broadband market as bandwidth demands in the home explode
over the next decade," said Dave Schaeffer, CEO of Cogent
Communications. "Unlike many service providers, Cogent does not
compete in the consumer market, but remains focused on the
enterprise market and the core of the internet -- segments in which
Cogent dominates as a price leader." Cogent is eager to extend this
offer based on a pattern of success this type of program has had in
the past. Just 2 years ago, Cogent noticed a similar pattern of
bandwidth growth among students and offered a comparable promotion
to university customers. Today, Cogent serves over 400 of the top
educational institutions in the country. Many of these are
universities that initially tested the Cogent network with a small
backup connection, then ultimately reconfigured their networks and
increased bandwidth to make Cogent their primary provider based on
the combination of outstanding quality and overall cost savings
they could achieve. Today, Cogent serves several large cable
customers in North America and Europe and expects this number to
grow rapidly as the cable companies realize they can have more high
quality bandwidth at a better price than any other provider can
offer today. About Cogent Communications Cogent Communications
