For what it's worth, we have a number of IPv6 peers in place plus IPv6 transit from Level(3), HE, and TiNet. For downstream customers, we are currently exporting them 6250 prefixes on IPv6.
From TiNet we are getting 6168 prefixes From Level(3) we are getting 4933 prefixes From HE we are getting 5990 prefixes

Or peer with HE and buy transit from Cogent (or someone on Cogent's friendly list) - this is where I think their strategy is going to go after a while with a lot of folks (if they have the option - that's the key). HE will peer with anyone I believe - Cogent has much more stringent "tier1" rules on peering.
How divided is the table? I see about 98 routes transiting Cogent ASN via a HE connection. Customer has only has HE as v6 upstream. An previous post listed about a 1300 prefix difference. That's pretty significant unless it's due to aggregation or something. I'd also be interested to see the size of the other major carriers v6 tables so I can patch a whole until the other upstream is ready. Jay
