In fairness, we have a small commit. If you're talking multi-gigabit+, then perhaps they could be a little more concerned about the amount of IPv6 traffic that you might start pushing, leading to delay tactics and/or a required contract change to protect themselves. (Not that it's likely much to be concerned about. But then, I don't know who your customer is. ;)) Or the more likely reality that one hand doesn't talk to the other and everyone's getting varying answers/actions from Cogent, depending on whom they speak with.
