What's the deal with ColoCrossing?

I think what Colo means is enabling IPv6 for some customers might lead to security problems even for customers that elect not to enable IPv6 (due perhaps to new DDoS vectors, etc).

For my part, I tried to be one of their customer.... but have finished by an incredible disappointment and a huge time loss..

This has been going on for a long time now. HE could use their Telia transit to reach Cogent by IPv6 if they chose to, but they have intentionally not done so in an effort to try to force Cogent to SFI peer with them. Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the longer term.

That's correct.
