IPv6 support on Virgin media
Does anyone know whether (and if so when) Virgin plan to implement IPv6 on its network?

Hi All,
Quoting Mark's last post - Whilst we already have enough IPv4 address space for our current network needs, as part of ongoing network upgrades, we have been looking at making our network ready for IPv6 connectivity. There are many factors which need to be worked through to ensure a seamless experience for our customers but we anticipate we will progress with initial stages of IPv6 deployment at some point during 2012.
- Excellent - the ball has started rolling. I still hope that we can request a prefix higher than the /64 minimum e.g. /56 or /48.

A Prefix length of /120 for 256 addresses (or less) of native IPv6 is enough.
i'd like 1024 addresses as thats what i ahve now on my internal network :)
