ok, that's a positive answer. but let me ask you a question: do HE.NET peer with cogent? level3?

Whatever you think of the issues surrounding the peering dispute (I am sure at least comcast agree with cogent that a Tier 1 network should pay what is essentially a Tier 2 network for peering!), the fact remains that HE did get there first with their defacto tier 1 status, and for the time being at least "working IPv6" is realistically "working IPv6 connection to HE and peers". The more users/content that is behind HE and peers that is not reachable from cogent the better, as it puts more pressure on them to start behaving themselves and peering properly like everyone else. - Mike
