      What hurdles we have to pass.   
      
      As you may know by now I'm on fibre (is it OK if I spell it fiber?) and I   
   was sure that my new ISP was going to give me native IPv6. But not. I've   
   questioned all my 20+, available on my open fiber, ISPs and not a single one   
   has responded positively.   
      
      So here I am, stuck with a he.net tunnel...   
      
      Yeup, that's what our greedy ISPs are giving us so far...
