Nope, for that exact reason. AS6939 is the only transit provider that charges to use BGP communities AFAIK. It's just 
another way for them to make $$$ and the only way it'll change is to vote with your feet.

Subject: Hurricane Electric ISP custom routing via BGP communities

Hello,

Has anyone tried to use Hurricane Electric ISP custom routing via BGP communities ?

I thought that a provider with such a Tier would allow customers to influence inbound (to customer) routing using 
additional BGP communities.
But seems they don't have free service for that, they're offering $200/mo fee per session to make the custom 
communities work.  I'm shocked:)
