DSL over 600 Ohm 2 wire?        MV> DOCSIS over coax? Opical over glasfiber?              Providers here are weird, Mine is called Tigo and it's DOCSIS HFC but they do       alow IPv4 bridge mode, Claro (big bad monster), DOCSIS too and also offer       IOPv6 but meh, etb fiber but no IPv6, so here in my country we're way behind       and those big companies give balls about customers and their needs. I'm even       afraid of asking becaus eit frusrates and angers me even more.               MV> I am in the fortunate position to have a choice between the three.        MV> Although DSL is no longer interesting compared to coax or fiberglass.              I am let's say only coax with two providers becaus eI'm on an apartment       complex and tehes a layer of let's say *corruption* where a single (big)       provider pays the administration of teh building to keep other providers out.               DG>> we're way behind down here in South America (except Brazil) when        DG>> it comes to v6, as I said I throw hate everytime I can to those        DG>> grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4 and the /30 and v4        DG>> VLSM practices migrated to IPv6.               MV> There are only two IPv6 capable Fidonet nodes in Z4. The first is your        MV> ZC elect Fernando Toledo. You are the second.              Yup, I link to Fernando for my newly (restored) node and I was not foing to be       IPv4 only node, so I gave it a go and here we are. Like I said, I love IPv4       and that's one of the topics that I'm pasionate about teaching and researching.               DG>> The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker,        DG>> it's slow because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an        DG>> alternative, I do like HE, but being a VPN and its inherent        DG>> drawbacks drives me away.               MV> He.net has been providing a fantatic service to the IPv6 community. I        MV> have had an he.net tunnel for many years. When I finally got native        MV> IPv6 in 2016 I did not need them any more. But I am still gratefull        MV> for here fantastic service. They even managed to get the "sage        MV> T-shirt" delivered exactly on the day of my 70th birthday!              Lovely, I got one of those myself but I lost it, that was my first real       approach to v6, I fidled with OpenWRT, dd-wrty all of that until I landed my       first Mikrotik and then I just fell inlove with those devices and what tehy       could do.               MV> Cheers, Michiel               MV> --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        MV> * Origin: he.net certified sage (2:280/5555)              --       Saludos/Kind Regards       David       - SysOp SkyNet BBS       - telnet://bbs.skynet.com:20023       SEEN-BY: 902/26 930/1 341/66 900/106 902/19 280/464 229/426 900/102 4/0 90/0       SEEN-BY: 900/0 902/0       PATH: 930/1 902/26           |
