Hello Nicholas,

I do not think this is a temporary issue. I have run other IPv6 speed test in the past and the results were always way below my IPv4 speed.

It is a bit difficult to compare because my ISP upped my IPv4 speed from 20/2 to 30/3 earlier this month.

I just ran another test,I disabled my SixXs tunnel, so that my main machine also uses the he.net tunnel. Then I get the same rusult as with Rosa's machine on the he.net tunnel.

So maybe the NEXT bottleneck is my WRT54GL that limits the speed via the he.net tunnel at 15 - 16 Mbps, but for the SixXs tunnel it is not the bottleneck and neither is Xp.

Maybe it is Aiccu. Maybe is is something further down the line.


Cheers, Michiel
