Looking for provider can directly announce IPV6 in Tier 1
Requirements:
My IPV6 subnet is directly announced by Tier 1, so that AS_PATH directly displays Tier 1's ASN instead of other ASNs.
Tier 1: AS174 AS1299 AS2914 AS3257 AS7018 AS11404 AS21743, etc.
Delivery method:
BGP Session VM (Support Private ASN)
Dedicated Server/VPS/VDS (Annouced and routed my subnet)
Location: USA, Central and West Coast preferred
If any brother can meet my needs, please leave a message and i will dm u.

The problem is that most Tier 1 networks aren't cloud providers. They're big telcos.
I remember Verizon and CenturyLink (now Lumen) tried the cloud thing when cloud computing was new, but both seceded to Big Tech clouds (AWS/Azure). Lumen even sold some of their 4.0.0.0/8 IPv4 space to Microsoft.
The only telecom I know of who's a reasonably big VPS provider is Iliad (Free ISP, Scaleway cloud) and OVH, both Tier 2 ISPs. But Scaleway is willing to be a low-cost cloud whereas Verizon/CenturyLink weren't while OVH is primarily a hosting company with a small telecom business.
I also know Cogent sells dedicated servers: https://www.cogentco.com/en/products-and-services/colocation/utility-computing
But Cogent dedicated servers might cost a pretty penny, I don't know. I doubt they offer BGP but Cogent Utility Computing might be what you're looking for if you can afford it.
what about hurricane electric in fremont?
Hurricane Electric is a Tier 2 ISP. They are just a very large Tier 2 ISP with tons of peering, like Comcast is but without monopoly power (which is why Cogent doesn't peer with HE).
HE.net does a good job with what they do, but they still transit with Arelion/AS1299 the way Comcast has Tata/AS6453. HE and Comcast claim they're Tier 1 but they really aren't.
Some providers with cogent as a direct upstream can meet the announcement requirements. However, setting up a network topology for large IPv6 subnets is difficult.
got it, interesting, thanks. i assume you have some good background in telecom it sounds? telecom seems pretty cool
I never worked in telecom. I did however read a whole bunch about telecom over the years (RIP DSLReports).
Kind of protocol,
I was also under the impression that HE was a Tier 1 and checked the list on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_1_network#List_of_Tier_1_networks
Comcast also isn't on the list.
