Looks like (from the graph) that the number of accounts doubles about every 8 months.  Damn!

Granted, it appears that there are only half as many tunnels as accounts, but will HE be able to keep up with this growth should the trend continue?

Hmm.  Well, I would assume they have enough /48's to give to everyone, so I don't think it would be a problem there.

As for the amount of traffic...I have to imagine that most of the traffic is coming from people just "kicking the tires" and wouldn't result in much bandwidth.

Or, I could be way off base

Keep in mind that the account growth does cover 3 free services now: IPv6 tunnels, Certifications, and the DNS service. We have a good number of users registering for access to one or more of the available free services. As we refine existing & add new services, we absolutely hope that we attract more and more users Smiley The only service that could potentially saturate would be the tunnels, but that hardware has the capability to have multiple bonded interfaces, or 10G interfaces (that'd be awesome!), so that resolves any kind of capacity issue with a quick configuration and minimal interruption. We are also actively working on expanding our IPv6 allocation.

We don't see a problem with keeping up Cheesy

I'd be interested in knowing how many users you pulled from "other" tunnel brokers.

Not really sure how that would be measured, aside from a forums poll or something. There isn't some check box asking which broker/automatic-tunnel-method you gave up on to switch.....yet *thinks about this*

Basic poll added to this thread.  If someone has an extensive list of alternative tunnel brokers that are still operating, feel free to add a better poll.  I only know of sixxs (Europe) and go/freenet6 (Canada), and I'm not certain of the latter.

Those are the other two major ones I know of too.

Here's a list of some "minor"? ones

You aren't the only one, unfortunately.

I use GoGo6 at home, but I experience the slow speeds like you do; the gogo6 servers are in Canada while I sit here in the US

I hadn't heard of any of those 5 regional tunnel brokers.

BTW, I was using 6to4 (2002::/16) for about 3 years before HE's tunnel broker.
