Keep in mind that anycast for ipv6 might not work very well. Whichever route he.net chooses as best to your /48 will probably bring a very large percent of your traffic.
@aglodek it's doable, and we have done it in the past, but it's a kludge to do it on OpenVZ. On KVM it might be easier, but there would still be some specific configurations to do for such a VPS (like fix / remove the source IP filtering), or place it on a separate VLAN. Such custom configurations get in the way in case you need to migrate the VPS on a different node and generally complicate life.

How much are you looking to spend per server? I may be about to announce this now
However, I don't have ability to do you VPS but I can do you a cheap server in the UK?
As cheap as possible. There is no need for much traffic or big RAM (128-256M RAM, 5GB HD, 20GB traffic should be enough).
I can announce this - problem is I do not have any VPS at the moment..
I can get you a very very low cost dedi? One of them £8/mo Atom 230's that I have?
Hm, OK. But dedicated is overkill for me. Alternatives could be BGP tunnel or Raspberry Colo ;-)
As I edited, I got an £8/mo Atom 230 server, or I can do RPI colo for £2.50...
And in this prices, BGP is included? (not just an announcement, I'd like to peer with my own asn)
We'd charge a setup fee but I am sure we can sort you out in the UK ;-) get in contact - with me I'll sort this.
We can do this, but on a dedi. We no longer do BGP on VPS.
Setup any VPS + BGP via HE.NET tunnel broker
I know, but HE has some dirty packetloss, at least on their Frankfurt PoP
If you need FRA talk to @flo - we have good peering there
@gbshouse You meen Amfy? I'm already peering with him ;-)

Why not? Your comment implies it's doable (I was not aware).

you could use moln.is or gridlane.com but I think nobody is maintaning these two anymore.
(K) Moln.is (1337 LLC)
Uhhhh..
Moln.is is just a gridlane reseller AFAIK.
