Another option is to set up a free tunnelbroker.net IPv6 tunnel using leaseweb's IPv4 connectivity to a tunnel server in Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, or London. You could then remove your leaseweb IPv6 address from the pool and add the tunneled address. tunnelbroker.net is a service of he.net, which is the largest IPv6 ISP in terms of routes advertised, and yet Cogent customers can't reach he.net customers over IPv6. IPv6 peering is definitely at an infant stage compared to IPv4. As best as I can guess, he.net is offering the free tunnels both to promote IPv6, and to raise their profile as an ISP, hoping to join the transit-free club of large providers who exchange traffic settlement-free. Again guessing, I suspect he.net is paying someone for their IPv4 connectivity to Cogent, but refusing to do so for IPv6 due to their transit-free status in that nascent market. The quality of service provided to tunnelbroker.net users is of course not as good as native IPv6 from a competent provider, but it's quite good. They understand IPv6 well and follow best practices, including offering their customers superior connectivity to IPv6 clients using teredo and 6to4 transition technologies, by locating teredo and 6to4 relays in each PoP where a tunnel server is located.
