I was an HE Tunnel users long before I joined the company. In my experience, our free tunnel service is quite reliable and provides excellent connectivity. HE has been happily exchanging BGP and routing my /48 for several years. The high quality of this service and the quick resolution to my (very few) problems even on a free service is one of the things that attracted me to join the company. However, for those that want production-grade business-class tunnels, we have launched a paid tunnel service as well. Owen
