<p>Indeed, its a one time fee to setup BGP. And as a side note,<br>
I's also separate for v4 and v6 sessions.<br>
<br>
I was also taken aback when i heard it the first time.<br>

That sounds like the BS the first company I worked for
tried to pull.<br>
<br>
One would think they'd welcome customers bringing their
own IP space <br>
since it saves them money by not using up precious Cogent
IPv4 address <br>
space.<br>
<br>
Hell, I even have BGP for v4 and v6 over my CenturyLink
biz fiber, and <br>
its available as part of the enhanced package they offer
with no extra fees.<br>
