I think it's called Hurricane Electric. Look it up, see if > it fits your needs. Actually, Hurricane Electric (among many other providers[1]) provide IPv6 over IPv4 (I'm going to assume that was a typo, though, as IPv3 was an experimental version which was retired in 1979). You can basically think of these tunnel brokers as being your IPv6 ISP (with Verizon etc being the IPv4 ISP). The real difference is that, instead of providing IPv4 over ADSL/VDSL etc and providing you with equipment to terminate that line, the tunnel brokers rely on you already having a physical connection and provide you internet access over that, instead.
