For a while we were in a similar setup with HE - free BGP tunnel for our
/48 to our provider who didn't have native IPv6 at the time. Turnaround
time for issues was a few hours at most (if even that), and their
knowledgeable BGP people helped us with some annoying/aggravating ARIN
policies that initially prevented us from getting an AS number.
So, maybe I'm biased in singing their praises. Its the little things
that make all the difference, IMHO.
