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 =

being applied to Cogent's customers in Europe.
If you want to change your vendor, sometimes you have to change your =
vendor.
