We do not charge v4 customers anything to turn up an IPv6 tunnel. If
you hear otherwise, please feel free to drop me a line. Native v6 is
available in atleast 31 markets, on over 210 edge devices in 701. There
is a good chance that native v6 is available for most, or close enough
to rehome to a v6 capable device. If native isn't available you should
be offered a tunnel for free. =20
I'm happy to try to help anyone with VZ (701/702/703/14551) with their
IPv6 issues.=20

Subject: v6 bgp peer costs?
I currently have a v4 BGP session with AS 701 and recently requested a
v6 BGP session to which I was told a tunnel session will be provided
(Same circuit would be better but whatever!). Towards the final stage in
discussions I was told that it will cost $1500. I find this quite
ridiculous and it will certainly not motivate people to move to v6 if
providers put a direct price tag on it. I am going through a bandwidth
reseller though so I am not sure who is trying to jack me here. Has
anyone here gone through a similar experience?
Thanks,
Zaid
