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

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.
Do we really want to run out of IP's again? What you going to do with 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses?
A Prefix length of /120 for 256 addresses (or less) of native IPv6 is enough.

You can't allocate a longer prefix than /64 to a link, unless it is PPP which can be /128 or inter-router links.
