Also using a HE.net BGP tunnel for our IPv6, simply because having just 1 
native provider with Ipv6 isn't redundant. That and it's 8mbit.

The v4 connection which the tunnel connects over is 90mbit, and the tunnel 
needs to travel from NL to DE for the FRA BGP peering.

I'm getting about 40mbit through the IPv6 tunnel, so i'd say it works well, 
although the throughput has slowly been dropping to the 30's range over the 
last 6 months. But that's probably because of the latency.

For something that is provided for free I'm really glad we have it.

I should have peered with their UK PoP as it's much closer by latency, thus 
faster.

Cheers,

Seth
