It probably won't stay one only tho, Cogent reps cycle like monthly and just call again and again (at least thats what Cogent Germany does with me, plus annoying on Linkedin by each and any rep) This also seems to depend on your market, Cogent in secondary markets (like Austria) seems to be more inclined to annoy ISPs than the Tier1 locations (Amsterdam, Fra..) -- William Weber | RIPE: WW | LIR: at.edisgmbh william@edisglobal.com | william@edis.at | http://edis.at | http://as57169.net EDIS GmbH (AS57169) NOC Graz, Austria Am 13.06.2014 um 14:22 schrieb Dominik Nowacki <dominik@clouvider.co.uk>:
I would still prefer to have a contact number to the allocation operator though.
They called me once, I don’t think one call is a problem to be honest.

Not surprised, some IP brokers do the same and annoy me - The used hardware sellers are also already jumping on the RIPE DB contacts...
Maybe it's time to remove phone numbers from objects and just keep mail... something for some WG at one point

Hi Colleagues,
First of all, happy Friday 13 =)
Cogent uses RIPE DB for phone spam. My colleague just received a phone call from +31204621445 with IP Transit offer. Colleague's phone number is published as admin-c in RIPE DB only.
For me it's very bad practice for same company like Cogent to use RIPE DB for spamming. Did anybody receive same calls/emails based on RIPE DB info?
Thanks.
