You may be right. Plus of course that the vast majority of indernet users hasn't a clue on how to go about it or even what IPv6 is.

There silly policy plus the arrogance of Jeroen Massar is what made me move to HE. They don't make you go through hoops and are very cooperative.

 AG> Additionally PoPs are free to close for new tunnels.

Yes, there is that too.

 AG> Just get native IPv6 ... running native IPv6 since 2003 here.

You are lucky.


Cheers, Michiel
