[6bone] Eastcoast tunnelbrokers..

We run  rather a large test/sandbox network where we give out ipv6 transit to
users for free (this is a nonprofit network used for education and development
purposes).

B/c it's all nonprofit, we don't have funding to afford commercial ipv6
connectivity, in which many of of native ipv6 services out there are offered
commercially..

We currently receive full bgp4+ feed from he.net's tunnelbroker which is great..
And the latency from our nonprofit net's san francisco POP to he.net's tunnel
broker router is only 4miliseconds which is very good connectivity.

The problem is, a lot of east coast users get really bad pingtime as everything
has to route out via SFO. So we are just looking for anyone who run an ipv6
network in the east who could give us bgp4+ feed over a tunnel.

Regards,
