ive been keen on trying ipv6 and since almost none of the local isp's yet support this for their customers, i resorted to getting a tunnel going with Hurrican Electric. They have a local tunnel server to which you can termite sessions to.

The problem however is quite bad in that none of the local isp's have implemented this properly and latencies are sky high for anything ipv6 related.

Here is a test i did to mybroadband on ipv4 and ipv6

IPv4:

It is.. Afrinic (our local registry) wants everything short of a pee sample (I apologise for the crassness) to give you any more IPv4 resources. We're seeing first time applicants (new small ISPs) getting no more than a /22 (1024 addresses). For reference, to onboard with Openserve, you need at least a /21 (2048 addresses) and Vumatel isn't far off.

Problem you have here is HE isn't peering IPv6 at local exchanges..

Here's my view of the above:
Code: 
tracert www.mybroadband.co.za

Tracing route to www.mybroadband.co.za [2606:4700:10::6814:aa9]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  2c0f:f030:80:5::1
  2     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  2c0f:f030:80:4::1
  3     1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  2c0f:f030::1000:101
  4     1 ms    <1 ms     1 ms  2c0f:f030::1000:6
  5     4 ms     2 ms     2 ms  cloudflare.ixp.joburg [2001:43f8:6d0::198]
  6     1 ms    <1 ms     1 ms  2606:4700:10::6814:aa9
