Or, if you feel that Cogent's stubborn insistence on partitioning the global v6 internet shouldn't be rewarded with money, pay someone *other* than cogent for IPv6 transit and also connect to HE.net; that way you still have access to cogent routes, but you also send a subtle economic nudge that says "hey cogent-- trying to get into the tier 1 club by partitioning the internet isn't a good path for long-term sucess". Note that this is purely my own opinion, not necessarily that of my employer, my friends, my family, or even my cat. I asked my cat about cogent IPv6, and all I got was a ghostly hairball as a reply[0].

Hi All,
we got an issue today that announces from Cogent don't reach Hurricane Electric. HE support said that's a feature, not a bug.
So we have splitted Internet again?
I have to change at least one of my uplinks because of it, which one is better to drop, HE or Cogent?
Question: Why would you have to drop one of them? You have no problem if you have both.
Even in the case of a link failure to one of them, you will likely not see a big impact since everyone else also keeps multiple transits. You will only have trouble with people that are single homed Cogent or HE, in which case it is more them having a problem than you.
