Re: ipv6 transit over tunneled connection

[Paul Timmins <paul () telcodata us>]

GBLX was great with native IPv6 setup.

VZB was nearly impossible to get them to set it up, and I'm tunneled to 
a router halfway across the country. The router I was going to had 
serious PMTU issues that they recently cleared up, so now it's working 
satisfactorily.
