A tunnel is good, native IPv6 is better. I noticed it too when I used tunnels. IPv6 over the tunnel is significantky slower than IPv4. Up to 50% slower. Native IPv6 is always preferable so we we should all keep perstering our ISPs about IPv6.

 VS> The bandwidth is so much lower that browsers tend to fall back to IPv4

I haven't seen that particular problem.

As I said: native is preferable, but a tunnel is better than no IPv6 at all.


Cheers, Michiel
