IPv6 where are you?

Tuesday, November 7. 2006, 17:44
Recently various news pages were posting about the nearing breakthrough of IPv6 (e.g. german newspage golem: IPv6 steht vor dem Durchbruch).

For me, associate of a small and innovative provider, I can't see this breakthrough. It seems nearly impossible to find hosting for dedicated servers which offer native IPv6 (at least with reasonable hardware/price conditions). Yes, I know I can tunnel through sixxs or other tunnel brokers, but I don't want low-speed IPv6 for people who can wait, I want to support IPv6 in same quality and speed than normal IPv4.

If you're working on the small side (dedicated servers, no colocation), you're out of luck twice. You hardly find providers that provide you with more than a few IPv4 IPs and you hardly can do anything to push the next gen IPv6 forward.

We have a small root server at Schlund&Partner and they're providing us with a nicely performing (although tunneled) IPv6 connection for three years now.

I know that, we're customer of 1und1, but we've been very unsatisfied by their support lately, so we wanna change that.
