Nope, for that exact reason. AS6939 is the only transit provider that charges to use BGP communities AFAIK. It's just another way for them to make $$$ and the only way it'll change is to vote with your feet.

I thought that a provider with such a Tier would allow customers to influence inbound (to customer) routing using additional BGP communities. But seems they don't have free service for that, they're offering $200/mo fee per session to make the custom communities work. I'm shocked:)
