Priority on Cogent? :(

[elix]

I've noticed quite a bit of priority on Cogent / Aleron lately, I know you do have 1 gige, maybe more, of Aleron but, why is there so much priority on it? I haven't seen ServerCentral much at all. I remember that priority was put on Cogent when there was an issue with Telia, but that issue is resolved and has been for weeks.

Are you going to change the routing back to normal? I see routes from Europe that go over Cogent to the BGP mix yet, it goes over ***access to www.powervps.com with much less latency. :-x

Thanks.

Another traceroute with the same symptom.
