Hi,
Thanks for this great service. Once I saw you had a presence in Dallas, I figured it would be worthwhile to take the IPv6 plunge.
However, the route to your server there is pretty convoluted. I'm in Austin, on RoadRunner. I have a couple of servers in Dallas (at the Infomart) and I get <20ms pings to them. But the latency to the HE Dallas node is 60-70ms.

I appear to be going to California and back.
Contact RR and ask them to peer with us :) Or if you have a decent contact, we'll email them, in addition to the emails we send out already.
Our peering information is public: http://he.net/adm/peering.html
Okay, will do. I don't have a contact for you, but if I end up reaching somebody worthwhile, I'll pass it along. Thanks for the speedy response and for the great tunnel!
