   Hello Victor,

   A tunnel is good, native IPv6 is better. I noticed it too when I used tunnels.   
   IPv6 over the tunnel is significantky slower than IPv4. Up to 50% slower.   
   Native IPv6 is always preferable so we we should all keep perstering our ISPs   
   about IPv6.   
      
    VS> The bandwidth is so much lower that browsers tend to fall back to IPv4   
      
   I haven't seen that particular problem.

   As I said: native is preferable, but a tunnel is better than no IPv6 at all.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
