That is actually a matter of where you are. ipv6.juniper.net is unreachable now from my ipv6 tunnel, due to a missing route at the provider side. But yes a couple of days ago I could verify as well, that the site is PMTUD impaired.

Similarly www.verisigninc.com was pointing to 2620:103:c003::10 also with a PMTUD problem, which gives you a very strange interaction: The first redirect [1] goes through, but the actual get of the page [2] is stuck forever.

Is it so hard for this companies to get IPv6 right? I mean, one would expect them to have some sort of minimal knowledge about these internet protocols, given what business they're in. 

Or are there just way too many IWFs [3] running rampant in the corporate networking teams?

But it seems to be kind of typical, my NAS has decent IPv6 support, so does my new laser-printer, just the WiFi-Router from Netgear has a retarded IPv6 implementation.
