SixXS shutting down 2017-06-06

Gestern, bekam ich folgende Mail:

Dear Sven,

TL/DR: SixXS is shutting down on 2017-06-06 (in ~10 weeks).

In 1999, Jeroen and I started SixXS, a project which aimed to provide 
IPv6
connectivity to users who wanted to learn about the network protocol and
gain experience operating IPv6 networks. Our vision was to facilitate
migration to IPv6 in content and access providers.

We were able to provide IPv6 to 50'000+ individual users and companies 
in
140+ countries, using servers hosted at 40+ Internet providers in 30+
countries. We are incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together, 
and
how many people have gotten to know all about IPv6 due to our combined 
efforts.

We are reaching out to you as you are registered in our system as having 
one
or more active IPv6 tunnels. We have chosen a somewhat symbolic date of
2017-06-06 to turn down the SixXS services, which should give you ten 
weeks
to arrange alternative connectivity.

We have completed a retrospective and rationale document, which details 
our
experience developing and operating the SixXS tunnelbroker over the last 
18
years. We have worked through our plans with the many dedicated ISPs 
that have
been involved:

We realize that SixXS has gotten a lot of attention in the last 18 
years. We
will be reaching out to IPv6 communities around the world, to explain 
our
decision to them as well.

Kindest Regards,
Pim van Pelt and Jeroen Massar (SixXS founders)


Damit dürfte also ein Stückchen Internetgeschichte zuende gehen.
Ich habe deren Dienste gerne und nun auch schon über mehrere Jahre 
genutzt.

Gibt es hier andere Nutzer die auch SixXS nutzen oder genutzt haben?

Das schöner war, das man ein eigenes Prefix zugeteilt bekommen hatte, 
mit dem man IPv6 Adressen in genüge hatte und dieses Prefix war 
statisch.

Klar viele ISP bieten nun auch IPv6 an, allerdings wechseln da die 
Prefixe
