Cogent famously nickle-and-dime their customers and consider BGP to be a chargeable extra, even on their IP Transit product which is somewhere where you would expect BGP to be a given. Of course whether you should do business with Cogent is another matter, especially given their spammy cold-calling tactics, seemingly once you're on their list you can never get off it.
