I think whether an ISP offers native IPv6 a very valid question and
everybody should ask it to theirs once in a while … in the meantime
I'm very happy with the (free) service of sixxs.net – their tunneling
is fast (haven't noticed any bandwitdth shortage; adds about 20ms
latency for me) and works even through NATed connections with dynamic
IPs. I haven't tried their software on DFly yet, but it's in pkgsrc
(net/aiccu) and is generally very portable, so it should work
(remember to load tun).

After your tunnel is up and stable for a few weeks you can even get a
/48 subnet assigned. My home network now has 65535 times the size of
all the v4 Internet ;)


Have fun :)
