   Tunnel vs. native IPv6

   Hello Bj”rn,   
      
   On Friday April 13 2018 15:40, you wrote to me:

    BF>    LOL! Well, it turns out that Telia forcefully has connected me via   
    BF> their servers without me having ordered it. So Bahnhof is blocked from   
    BF> giving me their service.   
      
   I already wondered. When I did a whois on your IPv4 address, I ended up with   
   Telia, not Bahnhof.   
      
   So you can choose between different ISPs on the same physical medium?   
      
    BF>    Given that Telia has offered me half the price (SEK199 -- about   
    BF> EUR20 -- per month) for three months, I think I'll wait three months   
    BF> before I terminate their service and give Bahnhof the baton.   
      
   Here that would not work. Here it is standard procedure to offer new customers   
   a discount for the first three or six month, but then if you accept that   
   discount. you are stuck with them for a year.   
      
    BF>    After all, for the time being the he.net tunnel works, albeit with   
    BF> a reduced speed, and so far it's only FidoNet that suffers from that   
    BF> reduction. It still works much faster than my previous ADSL line...   
      
   Speed is not an issue for Fidonet. Even the old POTS speeds were enough. It is   
   the 24/7 availability at zero extra cost that is the advantage over good old   
   POTS...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
