Hi,
We have been trying to get an ISP from Australian or New Zealand on board,
unfortunately it seems that we have met little interest up to now. In case
you do know an ISP who might be interested of course don't hesitate to let
point us to them, or let the, contact us. From several people we understood
that IPv6 connectivity that is provided in the AU/NZ region is quality wise
not the best and that there is no real alternative.
We recently opened a new PoP in London, UK. The owner of which (Goscomb
Technologies) has permitted any and all endpoints to be connected to
this PoP.
As such, if you don't mind the latency, which will most likely be around the
300-350ms range at least, you can now request a tunnel to the gblon02 PoP
and it will be approved. See below for an example traceroute, or test it
yourself using http://www.sixxs.net/tools/traceroute/
This at least allows one to get connectivity and start using it. Spread the
word and let your friends enjoy too.
In case you don't have enough credits to request a tunnel&subnet, don't
hesitate to give a shout and we'll make that in order.
Greets,
Jeroen
