IPv6 support on Virgin Media

What happened to Virgin Media's longest running thread? I can see if but I can't seem to post to it anymore? have they finally got sick of pretending that the topic is important to them?

    Doubt IP v6 will ever happen on the DOCSIS network.

      And in ten years there will still be people on here asking when modem mode is coming for the Hub 5x.

        I'm not too bothered about modem mode but wish I could change the DNS in the Hub5x..

    On our wavelength

    Just wanted to chime in and mourn the loss of the 10 year old original IPv6 thread. It had become a bit of legend; at least it's still there, even if it's locked.

    As I noted back in 2023, CityFibre are coming to my area and they're finally pulling fibre on my street, so I should be free of Vermin Media in the next few months 😀

      I mean, we can make a new 10 year thread... keep reminding them of their ongoing failure to deliver.. if anyone cares...

      Unfortunately, virgin is the only game in town for fast broadband here. Openreach have just installed FTTP in the next village over, but not here.

    Which reminds me of the thread started by VM asking what we thought of the new, improved User Forum. It produced a stream of complaints asking for return of the old format. All of which were totally ignored.

    ipv6 is unlikely to happen on HFC network; this network is in just feed/water mode to keep it alive until XGS-PON replaces it and no more investment. On the XGS_PON network it will but not until a later date; you cant get an ipv6 WAN address at the moment. That's how I understood from various things....
