I’m inclined to agree with you, subject to some caveats:
1. I think more Cogent customers need to be more vocal about it. There hasn’t been an impetus to do so until recently. Now real people (not network engineer sorts) are starting to use IPv6 for real.
2. I agree with you in principle. In an idea world, take HE and two others. I would however still say that if you could only take two, take HE and take something other than Cogent. It’s a win-win if the experience of single-home Cogent customers gets to be worse as a result. Perhaps having things occasionally break — only for single-home Cogent customers — is a benefit.
Honestly, don't take HE or Cogent if you can help it. Neither deserves to be rewarded in this dispute. That being said, there are plenty of small customers that are single homed to both. Unfortunately, I doubt their voices matter. Jack
