My experience with online.net/scaleway from just yesterday: their peering is quite bad, and their IPv6 is broken out of the box.
First, you only get a /127. Second, IPv6 is not activated by default, and for a good reason: when you do activate it, basic things like a apt-get update of a their vanilla distribution are broken.
Basically, their IPv6 peering seems so bad you can't even ping6 some ASN.
Practical example: on their Amsterdam DC, I couldn't even reach ftp.nl.debian.org (and before you ask, DNS worked just fine - I got the correct AAAA records)
When I asked for explanations and provided them a detailed ping6 and traceroute analysis showing where the problem was (and the same analysis from another server I had nearby that confirmed the problem was on online.net end), I was told to try the "rescue mode".
Lol no. I tried another company instead.
