I waited years and finally turned up a transit to L3 for additional 
bandwidth (had to wait for GE support from the other 2, of which 1 still 
can't give me a GE) and luckily native v6. Within 30 days I should have 
a cogent 10G, and I hear I'll get v6 there as well.

I'm still waiting for v6 on the original 2, but I can live with what I have.
