Peering Disputes Migrate to IPv6 - 2009
Now that I'm interested in IPv6 I need to know more about this issue, because HE seems to be the recommended provider here.
PS. I suspect the OP is a regular at LET. Show yourself whoever you are.

That's ... old and it's not IPv6 who's broken, but Cogent.
Tier 1 network providers should be able to connect you to every other tier 1 provider - over settlement free connections (you pay your tier 1, they don't pay each other for your traffic).
Cogent don't consider HE a tier 1 network. They think they should be compensated by HE in addition to their own customers.
This isn't an ipv6 problem: it's a singlehomed-to-cogent-or-he problem.
// yoursunny i love ipv6, please don't sacrifice me!
Real men use hardware id to identify its devices.
So if I don't want any hassles with IPv6 then who should I go with?
Who will connect me with both transparently?
Well, they aren't - right?
They're really not far off. They use telia/arelion to reach cogent, Tata and NTT; but they're also something like the 6th largest network in the world.
Side note.
Cogent now does work with Google over IPv6
This article is from 2021.
In general, try to avoid providers that are single-homed to Cogent. This applies for IPv4 as well, as they've also had peering disputes with IPv4 in the past.
