We have a IPv6 peer with Cogent, in St. Louis, no extra fees were charged.  Just a FYI.

We canceled some 10GbE Cogent circuits because of Cogent's refusal to provision IPv6 without adding extra fees, and I 
expressed my reasoning well in advance of canceling the first one.  I have been told that they have now eliminated the 
special fee for North American customers, but just two weeks ago I heard about this IPv6 surcharge stupidity still 
being applied to Cogent's customers in Europe.
