Hi All,

Frequently updated source for the IXs bit...

https://www.euro-ix.net/isp/choosing/list

Some IXs have member lists with an IPv6 column :-)

Also on https://www.euro-ix.net/isp/choosing/search/matrix.php

...there is a "Number of IPv6 customers" column that some may find 
interesting! ;-)

IMHO, local peerings (through IXs) are an important part when trying to 
setup an IPv6 service. But without the transit part solved, perhaps the 
best way is to wait (i'm not really a tunnel fan...).
The real way forward is to ask(&pay) for IPv6 to upstream providers (when 
your customers start to ask/demand for it).

Best Regards,
