Here in NL there are afaicr 3 providers that give you native (direct from your modem) IPv6. I was initially looking at sixxs, but somehow that didn't feel good.
Since long time i got my very first tunnel from HE. There first tunnel end-point is in fremont, USA. Clearly, when living in europe rather "sub optimal",
Now they have more than a dozen different end-points, not just AMS-IX (which gave me ideal latency and routing) But also UK, Fr, HK, CA,DE, CH, Just for the sheer fun, i have multiple tunnels to most of their end-points.
No problems at all: just works. About a year ago i found that my major mirror-site (german univ) turned V6 on. Without any drop in performance, the 9TB i hold locally, are now rsynced over V6
There are just two minor points: The lack of endpoints in AFrica and Australia....
Btw, i'm not related to HE, and their service is totally free.

Given IPv6 current state, where many vulnerabilities are related to autoconfiguration for home and small networks, and given the fact many ISPs still doesn't support IPv6 at all, IMHO the default setting should be IPv6 disabled. Any end user or sysadmin should take action only to enable IPv6, not to remove the threads it represents today.
As a matter of interest, how can one tell if an ISP supports IPv6? This is slightly OT, but I often think I'd like to try using ipv6, but when I ask I'm given a purely theoretical reply, which I don't understand, usually involving SixXS. Are there simple instructions anywhere, just listing the commands to use, and not telling me how many people in China are using the internet.
