Just adding another data point of a failure from Spectrum IPv6 to that host
in question.

>From here in Milledgeville Georgia that host seems to be unreachable, can I
get to hurricane electrics network and seems to die with them.


Apologies for this output but I'm just using an app that I already had on
my phone. Didn't have a PC available..

This site is otherwise fine and globally accessible via IPv6, tested on both Qwest and T-Mobile hosted systems.  This is a regression from some time in early April this year.
