I'd love to do that, if my ISP would provide me an IPv6 address. Windstream doesn't provide IPv6s. They did a trial a few years ago rolling it out and then undid it.
It's crazy I can get fiber to my house in the US, but not IPv6.

I was doing this back when I had BT in London, my internet speed back then was pretty abysmal and it would randomly drop routes- ironically this tunnel actually improved my internet (because of the routes not being dropped, not the speed).
And they can always tell your ISP if they don't like paying to connect to the tunnelling server they should just implement v6.
It wasn't always like this, but it was for me the last time I tried.
I've got a 8Gbit symmetric fiber connection (with no IPv6 at all, yay) and regularly make use of all of it, so I'm well connected. Router hardware is more than capable of the encapsulation.
With the HE tunnel up, I was often getting tens of megabits per second for any endpoints that supported IPv6.
Works as a "this endpoint is _only_ available on IPv6" so I can connect to something I couldn't otherwise, but day-to-day the experience is vastly better over IPv4 for me.
Our free tunnel broker service enables you to reach the IPv6 Internet by tunneling over existing IPv4 connections from your IPv6 enabled host or router to one of our IPv6 routers.
