And now, for your regularly scheduled dose of broken ipv6 routing...

Wouldn't you really quickly kick sprint to NOT use HE.net as a transit?
Clearly HE.net still lives in the times of 6bone age.

Also why doesn't sprint have a router in Amsterdam? That would provide
them with the route to RIPE and a lot of other good IPv6 networks.
As you are a customer, ask them ;)

(There is one side-effect explanation btw: filters, as the RIPE IPv6
block is announced as a /48, which is filtered by some, and accepted
only by the ones who can't care less. Thus quick solution: drop the /48
and simply use the /32 towards SURFNet for super light speed connectivity ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen
