I have ATT DSL in Gainesville, Florida, USA and my ATT 6rd tunnel works
and my HE tunnel works also.  I have a Westell 6200 modem.  I put it in
bridge mode so PPPoe and the tunnels are all running from cerowrt.

I don't routinely activate either tunnel since it slows down my
traffic.

I have a long ago grandfathered fixed IP4 address.  Because of the way
6rd works that gives me fixed IPv6 addresses.

BTW.  One benefit of the HE tunnel over ATT 6rd is that HE lets me
control rDNS.  I doubt ATT will ever provide that for a residential
account.
