"IPv6 Broadband Product launch soon"
It is something to look at while we eagerly await.

Thanks for that. I must have just missed that update when I checked the other day. It's short and sweet.
Hope that "soon" means January.

2019.
This is the most affirmative that anyone from Virgin has ever been about deploying IPv6. Surely it's time to pack up the cynicism?

I noted one of the Drawbacks listed on the PDF was "Strict NAT" ....... Gamer's are going to love that one !

When have you ever seen Virgin:
Sure, they didn't put a date on the launch. I know from personal experience what it takes to put a date on a large product launch. It's not fun and I can understand why they didn't announce that at a user group meeting like the IPv6 Council.
From all of the evidence VM are publicly serious about deploying IPv6 for the first time. Given the size of the UK VM deployment is going to be approximately what they have already deployed across Europe it's not surprising that we're going last but it seems almost certain that we're about to go.

Not just gamers either. 😉
Note in their document it says - Almost transparent to customers
While people browsing the net, watching things like netflix and using facebook etc won't see a difference, there's a lot of people who will.

Edit - Indeed Google, Facebook and Netflix ave been IPv6 capable for some time.

Excellent info, despite lack of official date for release. Many thanks, cthonus!
