Cogent Communications

Companies around the world connect to the Web by way of Cogent’s fiber-optic cable network, which today spans 170 major markets across 32 countries. Demand for data transport and Internet access continues to grow as the Web becomes increasingly essential to the daily lives of people and businesses. Indeed, the number of buildings connected directly to its network at the end of September had climbed nearly 11 percent from a year earlier.

Trivia

This Internet Service Provider’s fiberoptic network spans more than 70,000 miles when counting both intercity route miles and metro fiber miles.
