Just a simple reality check, which you should have known about the moment you where able to fill in the paperwork to get an ASN and a prefix. Note that that latter paperwork used to contain a guarantee for two upstreams. The reason for that was so that people realized they also needed that... > Probably in 1984, with the guys of 1984, I would not have received > this kind of "response". In 1984 they would have asked you how you would be paying for the physical cable which brought you to them.... would have been a rather expensive deal to get that telephone link up 24/7.... Moving bits has always have a cost, and those costs have gone down a lot, but still exist. The ones that give 'free transit' do that so that they can balance their input/output ratio better which allows them to negotiate better deals and of course to claim they are global Tier-1s while they just have a l3-switch in a rack somewhere... great for playing around, but nothing else. You might want to ask OVH in France if they are able to provide you with native IPv6, as they can. They might also be able to give you a BGP session, but at that point, like the rest of their service they will nicely ask you to pay for that service. BGP over tunnels is a bad thing, as the tunnel will break and then that flap in BGP gets progressed all around the world.... not even speaking about MTU issues and fragmentation that you will run into. Please keep the Internet a 1500 clean place, do your part and get Native IPv6.
