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

I wonder if older routers will work with it.
That'll depend on how old the equipment is, but Virgin is probably well positioned in that respect by now, because over the last few years they have imposed on customers a mandatory free CPE upgrade with no alternative offered other than to leave VM. I was caught up in this mass upgrade so I'm describing this first-hand.
The fact that it was a free upgrade says a lot about how important the mass upgrade was to Virgin. The forced upgrade wasn't necessarily driven by the need to support IPv6 of course, as new equipment allows them to offer new services to customers with upgraded CPEs. Nevertheless, being compatible with their IPv6 plans was almost certainly a side effect of the upgrades.
Morgaine.
Makes sense. I'm on A Superhub 2,which is presumably therefore compatible.
I'm (obviously) on IPV4, but 40 miles from me someone with the same kit is on IPV6. IPV4 is offered as an option
I would assume thats the model VM will use, as you know, they already are as LG
