Surely, if your ISP goes broke then you will still have to change your mail, DNS, ADSL login etc credentials anyway (or else the ISP must have been taken over seamlessly) so I'm not clear how already having an IPV6 connection saves much work.
If you're running services (mail, web, whathaveyou) on your IPv6 range, a change of provider will mean changing IP-addresses, just like today. If you're not running services, it doesn't matter much - just like today.
Right, but using a tunneled IPv6 now doesn't seem to change the overall amount of work. Roughly speaking, either: (a) my ISP is stupid and goes broke or is so badly organized that I have to change to and set up another, or (b) my ISP is wise and I'm automatically migrated to IPv6 (or he sends me clear instructions on what I need to do) But I don't see how me doing anything now separately from my ISP reduces my overall workload. It feels likely that it will actually increase the work.
