RE: Hurricane Electric ISP custom routing via BGP communities

One possibility is that customers using more advanced features may cause themselves odd issues and make troubleshooting 
their connectivity more difficult since it is less "standard" of a connection at that point.  Thus, there exists the 
potential for more customer support costs.

Where this explanation breaks (at least for me) is that since they 
offer BGP communities features for a fee, they clearly have already 
put in the time to develop/deploy the config necessary for it, and 
allowing use of it really doesn't cost them anything.

by that logic, they should give me transit for free
