I feel this can be a public topic:
Rogers just charged us that for an update (one update, multiple entries). We had to go through their quotation machinery too, took like 4-5 days. Additional time was wasted because we contacted their tech dept directly at the start. (which is what I do for all my other upstreams...)
Kinda brutal. Coordination problems are a point of high friction and cost for low margin products. I generally prefer that my providers be able to generate prefix filters on the basis of route objects, If it's not part of their service offering; how costs are assigned for service requests is going to be part of contract negotiions.

Cogent and HE nor NAC or Yipes or Tata ever did that to us.
Nickle and diming -- why, cuz transit is a cheap commodity now, gotta make the cash somewhere?
That said Cogent offered us a static /26 along side our BGP years ago then warned us it'd be $50/mo or something for that # of ips going forward. We didnt need it so dispensed with it.

If there are any ISPs who use TELUS/AS852 for IP Transit over BGP, I???d be interested in hearing from you.
I???d like to compare notes to see if you are also paying $250 for each BGP prefix filter updated request, or if we???re the only ones???
Thanks in advance!
