Or, if you feel that Cogent's stubborn insistence on partitioning the global v6 internet shouldn't be rewarded with money, pay someone *other* than cogent for IPv6 transit and also connect to HE.net; that way you still have access to cogent routes, but you also send a subtle economic nudge that says "hey cogent-- trying to get into the tier 1 club by partitioning the internet isn't a good path for long-term sucess".
Note that this is purely my own opinion, not necessarily that of my employer, my friends, my family, or even my cat. I asked my cat about cogent IPv6, and all I got was a ghostly hairball as a reply[0].
