I know it's a company because regularly they seem to mess something up and there is a post about it on /r/networking: https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/search?q=level+3&restric...

It's so common that someone even made a website about it: http://fuckinglevel3.com/

Remember when they nearly broke the internet back in IIRC '06, when they had that peering dispute spat with Cogent?

Telia de-peering with Cogent was bigger. And as others have pointed out, Cogent is frequently a bad partner in these disputes.

Given the number of peering spats that Cogent has been in, is it fair to blame the other party when one comes up?
