It will certainly be a lot better in terms of IPv6 speed. I have to admit that I no longer have a VPS with BuildYourVPS, but this is simply due to not needing it anymore (I was using it for testing a particular project). Let me know if you have any other queries, and let me know how you go if you decide to get a VPS with them. Regards, Jack. Hi Anshu,

I am presently using HE tunnel on my slice (v6.anshprat.info). Can you please let me know your latest/update review of buildyourvps? cheers Anshu Prateek hi Jack,

Cup snakes? only in AU.. where giant snakes and spiders naturally live, would anyone come up with something wacky like that. ;) I’ve never played hockey in my life, but it’s played in the streets and outside all the time.. on ice because we have intense winters and the shape of the puck apparently helps it slide better.

You may think this sport is ridiculous, but Australians will think the same of strange sports like ice hockey... why not just play it outdoors and with a round ball, like sensible people?
