   Dear Michiel,   
      
   15 Sep 21 14:02, you wrote to me:   
      
    BR>>> You can always get a tunneled IPv6 block free from HE.net and   
    BR>>> tell your ISP to piss off. That's what I basically did and I've   
    BR>>> been fine since.   
      
    VS>> That's what I've done, but it results in a lower bandwidth over   
    VS>> IPv6, and extra hops.   
      
    MV> A tunnel is good, native IPv6 is better. I noticed it too when I used   
    MV> tunnels. IPv6 over the tunnel is significantky slower than IPv4. Up to   
    MV> 50% slower. Native IPv6 is always preferable so we we should all keep   
    MV> perstering our ISPs about IPv6.   
      
   I fully agree.   
      
    VS>> The bandwidth is so much lower that browsers tend to fall back to   
    VS>> IPv4   
      
    MV> I haven't seen that particular problem.   
      
   Please see my reply to Brian.   
      
    VS>> (Yes I know there is a tweak to stop this behaviour in Firefox,   
    VS>> nevertheless my IPv6 connection is inferior to IPv4).   
      
    MV> As I said: native is preferable, but a tunnel is better than no IPv6   
    MV> at all.   
      
   Sure.
