It is worth noting that HE indeed provides the full view, it's the other side that has an issue.

(Since HE isn't really a tier 1, their transit relationships with Telia and other carriers "save" them)

Cogent -> HE dies with unreachable on the first hop though, and that's an issue for Cogent customers.

they are evil partitioners?

can we lower the rhetoric?

They both loses on this. In fact anyone claiming tier 1 status loses here,
because this illustrates why you can never be single homed on a tier 1
network. These guys simply do not have the full internet.
