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.

 

Thanks

Sadly this is the same line we have been spun for years.  No one with technical experience must be allowed to look at IPv6.  They only look at it in terms of IP Allocation to Users, and NEVER look at IPv6 CONNECTIVITY to the internet.  New sites started up later this year may not have an IPv4 address block so we (the users) will in essence be blocked from these new services.

Perhaps when Mr Neal said that Neutrality was "B O L L O C K S" he was looking forward to where IPv6 will be used to send out more webtv and thought that would be a great thing to delay?...

I know that BBC Went to VM to try multicast trials and VM said they didnt wish to give users that service!

IPv6 CONNECTIVITY needs to be put in place, at least 4to6 tunnels in all of the major routing points.

Even google (who VM has given most of their services to) has made the switch to IPv6.  Initial stages should have started 5 years ago when we were asking for it... Not in 2012 when some websites will only be rechable via IPv6.
