I have not used it, which makes me slightly outside your question, but my answer as to why is potentially illuminating: At the moment an ADSL service with IPv6 (eg: anyone but a business with Layer 2 Ethernet connectivity) means running an IPv6 on IPv4 tunnel back to their head end. None of the ADSL DSLAM equipment currently supports IPv6 in PPP, with the Agile equipment going through testing at present and likely to be deployed for "native" IPv6 support some time late this year.[1] Until then there is relatively little advantage to running an IPv6 tunnel via my ISP, compared to experimenting with the same thing via some other random tunnel broker -- and for production it has all the same issues that an IPIP tunnel always has. That said, reports from people using the service have been uniformly good in my experience, in that it more or less just works.
