Which other provider?  Please name at least one.

Other providers either offer IPv6, or don't.  When those other
providers do, good or bad, you can connect to any other IPv6 network
(well, except maybe for Cogent's AS174).

When Cogent offers IPv6, a lot of IPv6 networks are unreachable.  No
other provider comes close.

I mean, even their web-site doesn't work from many IPv6-connected
hosts, because there's no route for their network:

li163-XXX:~# telnet cogentco.com http
Trying 2001:550:1::cc01...
^C
li163-XXX:~#

C.
