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.
