I have tunnels from
sixxs, and aside from occasional POP issues they have been pretty
reliable.
With SIXX i have (sorry) very bad experiences - mainly regarding their support (just
silence or no help in regaining an access to a misconfigured tunnel on SIXX side,
inflexibility to just ignorance...) and partly their register policies. I wouldn't
recommend it for applications require any kind of "reliability", but may OK for
playing around with IPv6, where bandwidth and reliability are secondly or tertiary...
I think I understand - I filled out the sign-up form, and about four
hours later I received a "rejection" notice. The reason given was
(paraphrased) "give us complete details or don't bother to apply."
Rather rude, even making allowances for their being from a different
culture...
I've tried to resubmit my info to SixXS but I don't have much hope.
HEnet isn't really viable since I'm not only at a dynamic IP, but also
behind a NAT box. So I'd really need someone running aiccu/ayiya to
handle the tunnels (at least, this is what I understand).
A worst-case possibility is for me to set up my own OpenVPN tunnel back
to a virtual machine I've got running in California. But I suspect that
round-trip delays would make it nearly unuseable.
