It gets your network a reliable IPv6 connection when your own ISP
doesn't support IPv6 yet.  That's why I use them.

And please skip the rant about how I should stamp my feet and demand
my ISP support IPv6,  They're perfectly reasonable, but they're dual
homed, one of their upstreams doesn't do IPv6, and the number of
reasonable providers in semi-rural upstate NY is not huge.

R's,
John
