IPv6 - where are we now? (2015-12)
« on: December 29, 2015, 02:08:29 AM »
Names of ISPs I have heard mentioned / rumoured as going for IPv6, rolling it out, trialling, whatever. Where exactly are we now?

* BT Retail
* Zen
* PlusNet
* Sky
--

(And about a dozen very small, niche and business ISPs who have actually had live IPv6 in operation for years.)

* I'd like to hear from customers just how far the ISP has actually got.

* Who is missing from the above list?

Apparently a load of sky customers (on adsl) already have ipv6 live.

They seem to be doing a closed trial for FTTC customers currently.  They did say was an open trial at first but then pretended they cancelled it.

Funny that zen was late to start a public trial but then quick to rollout after their trial started.

BT Retail plan to upgrade their customers to IPv6 between April and December this year.

Some were upgraded last year as part of a trial...

You may have missed a small firm called A&A from your list  ;D

I missed out A & A as they have had IPv6 on offer for a decade or more, FOC to all customers not just a trial. I left out over half a dozen small ISPs as I was concentrating on those big guys who are moving towards adoption.

Enta resellers can add IPv6 on users connections and have been able to for a while, but it's not on by default.

Some of the smaller outfits that come to mind are

Andrews and Arnold
Goscomb
Watchfront
Aquiss
Bogons
Fidonet
Claranet
idNet

And at one time I had a list that was a bit longer than this.

Have noticed that my BT Infinity connection had IPv6 activated on it in the last few days.

Some others on the BT forums are reporting the same - so looks like BT Retail's rollout is picking up speed..

I've noticed in the last few days that IPv6 has been enabled on my Sky service too.

When I flash my new firmware (is overdue), I will check if native dhcp6 is working for me on sky.

@chrysalis - so is DHCPv6 coming from your ISP? Not from your own router? BTW, what router are you using, Chrys?

I wonder if ISPs will start using prefix delegation, to automate the whole process for a simple customer network.
