No change, so I will flag you as "6DWN" in the list for now.

Interesting. With a he.net tunnel you have a fixed IPv6 prefix and that has its 
advantages. With native IPv6 you may have a (semi) dynamic prefix. Your milage 
may vary. Other than that I find native IPv6 much preferable ove a tunnel. 
He,net offers a fantastic service for a very attractive price, but a tunnel 
just can not match native IPv6. At least that is my experience.

Please keep us posted.


Cheers, Michiel
