Scroogy?, huh.... oh God, don't get me started on this a-holes, provides
*guess* billions of IPs on the same network block are better than good around
here, /48 would be --according to the-- for enterprise customers so I will try
to have them assign a /48 because I also tried getting my *roaming* IPv6 /48
from LACNIC, my RIR but USD$1,200/yr for hobby is kinda dealbreaker

 MV> Are you sure you can't get more than just a /64?  If not, for me that

Yup, trust me, been there, done that, but that unfortunately is the only one
that you can get to do bridge mode on the CPE for IPv4, we're way behind down
here in South America (except Brazil) when it comes to v6, as I said I throw
hate everytime I can to those grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4
and the /30 and v4 VLSM practices migrated to IPv6.

The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker, it's slow
because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an alternative, I do like HE, but
being a VPN and its inherent drawbacks drives me away.


 MV> Cheers, Michiel

Right back at ya
