cogent this morning (4am) took its own **** and routed traffic from uk-france-amsterdam then hitting usa at 360ms this wasn't directly ntl's fault but one would have expected them to not be routing traffic thru cogent if possible but of course they did.

Staminus have disabled cogent FULLY for my server at their datacentre because NTL wasnt responding to the cogent been depreferenced, the staminus owner who knows a fair bit about bgp protocol has come to the conclusion that NTL are simply using cogent no matter what preference its set to at the other end which does explain why its congestion gets so bad. The issue here is he cannot keep me at this configuration permanently and I will be back onto the bgp mix within a few days, my contact at NTL says he will look at it but says I am wrong about NTL forcing the cogent route but I cant think of another reason why the cogent route is ALWAYS used even when going through france and holland en route.
