   Dear Michiel,

   Unfortunately I don't have native IPv6 connectivity, and HE does not offer   
   /56s on its tunnels, only /48s so I don't have much choice.   
      
   I've tried several times to switch to Rostelecom who is rumored to offer IPv6   
   connectivity, but as soon as I start talking with their salespeople they fall   
   into stupor and promise to call later.
