My monthly usage is well less than 10GB so I'm with Peer1 although with
my usage I don't think a few extra ms latency would make much
difference. From their web site:

 "This service is intended as a two-tiered option where you can go DSL
Unlimited over Cogent (5ms to 15ms more latency) or if you prefer a
premium option, DSL over Peer1 (premium routing). The difference between
Unlimited and Premium Capped service is in its use of internet onramps.
Call for further details!"

Not quite sure what that means but I've found them to be good people to
talk to. Give it a shot at 1-877-779-1575 and let us know!
