Which doesn't really make very much sense, indeed.

All our upstreams treat bits as bits, no matter which colour they have
- that is, v4 and v6 packets go over the same links, are counted as 
interface octets, and billing is based on these.

(Global Crossing tried to get us to sign up for "IPv6 commitment" and
"IPv4 commitment", we told them that this is a stupid approach to
things, and they dropped the idea...)
