This assumes you can actually get a login with SixXs.

They have a rather interesting policy about information required to 
setup logins, then of course theres the issue about no duplicate logins
for the same person.

It would be nice if they bothered to respond to their email to resolve
issues ;)

One of our local ISPs is currently tinkering with IPv6 for their 
services and is working through the ideas for native IPv6 services,
AFAIK.

In Australia AARNET has a tunnel broker, but ISPs are not widely 
connected/peered with them, AFAIK, despite AARNET having a wide coverage 
across Australia.
