I continue to hear different.  In my first-hand experience just about
three weeks ago, I was told by Cogent that I need to execute a new
contract to get IPv6 added to an existing IPv4 circuit (U.S.
customer.)  This turned a simple pilot project with only a few I.T.
folks involved into, well, I'm still waiting on this new contract to
be executed.  I'm not surprised.
