I'm really sorry to see SixXS go. Looking back through my archives, I see I've been using SixXS for almost six years and it looks as though until I switched tunnel provider at the weekend my tunnel had been up and running for just over five years (that was my second tunnel replacing the original ayiya tunnel I'd had for the previous year). My ISP, Plusnet, has said that they'll eventually provide IPv6 but they won't tell me their timescales. Special thanks to everyone involved in SixXS. jch
