You do not have a choice regading "they"? Here I can choose between several
ISPs.

Then you do not have IPv6. Most likely because your ISP does not support it.
he.net still offers tunnels free of charge...

 DS> I saw no action on the web site since 2010.

That web site has indeed not been updated recently and it probably never will.
The KAME project is shelved. I selected that web site because it provides a
quick and reliable indication of IPv6 capability.


Cheers, Michiel
