Re: Disabling ipv6

Here in NL there are afaicr 3 providers that give you native (direct from your modem) IPv6.
I was initially looking at sixxs, but somehow that didn't feel good.

Since long time i got my very first tunnel from HE. There first tunnel end-point is in fremont, USA. Clearly, when living in europe rather "sub optimal",

Now they have more than a dozen different  end-points, not just AMS-IX (which gave me ideal latency and routing) 
But also UK, Fr, HK, CA,DE, CH,
Just for the sheer fun, i have multiple tunnels to most of their end-points.

No problems at all: just works.
About a year ago i found that my major mirror-site (german univ) turned V6 on.
Without any drop in performance, the 9TB i hold locally, are now rsynced over V6

There are just two minor points:
The lack of endpoints in AFrica and Australia....
 
Btw, i'm not related to HE, and their service is totally free.

As a matter of interest, how can one tell if an ISP supports IPv6?
This is slightly OT, but I often think I'd like to try using ipv6,
but when I ask I'm given a purely theoretical reply,
which I don't understand, usually involving SixXS.
Are there simple instructions anywhere, just listing the commands to use,
and not telling me how many people in China are using the internet.
