I requested a direct BGP session with HE and they had it configured in under 10 minutes, received a *lot* more prefixes than from the Equinix RS but it hasn't fixed the problem. I've also set my Vocus transit to no-export to HE, but I suspect this will just push it on to my other transit (TPG - anybody know of BGP communites for them?)

Matt and Gavin are right: this asymmetric routing seems to only impacts providers that buy transit from HE in SJC (TPG and Vocus being the two main ones I've noticed).  It would appear from the below post that HE policy is to preference transit over peering links (presuming that AS paths for both are the same length?):

(Although I'm not quite sure how the reverse might break routing, it might break their business model?).  I guess it's up to Vocus & TPG to figure out how fix if it becomes a problem for them.

Edwin: there is some merit to having a routable /48 to experiment with, not sure if Internode supply that sort of IPv6 subnet to ADSL customers?
