His ISP's network is accesible:

gremlin@hren:~ > ping6 2001:470:0:6e::2
PING 2001:470:0:6e::2(2001:470:0:6e::2) 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 2001:470:0:6e::2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=56 time=143 ms

But his address is not:

gremlin@hren:~ > ping6 2001:470:1f11:10b9::5
PING 2001:470:1f11:10b9::5(2001:470:1f11:10b9::5) 56 data bytes
