IPv6 support on Virgin media
Does anyone know whether (and if so when) Virgin plan to implement IPv6 on its network?
Forum Discussion
I recently had an engineer visit to improve cabl signal levels and took the opportunity to ask if he had any knowledge of an IPv6 rollout schedule.
He had none, but promised to get back to me with an answer. This, he did within a few days.
He reported that the initial focus is on upgrading business connections and that he had been unable to identify a schedule for starting residential upgrades.
Disappointing, but could it be that the observed growth fits this story?
We are currently up for renewal and Virgin don't appear to offer IPv6 but if we go through a re-seller they do so possibly they are letting re-sellers trial it for their customers first before virgin support it.
I would imagine business first would make sense as we tend to buy static IPv4 addresses so don't have to do CGNAT.
Most people who sit on those sales booths know nothing about the service. They were just hoping to get a new customer sales bonus from you.
Don't think i'm being mis-sold he seems to know what he is on about.
The other option is BT which 100% does IPv6 and its only £5 more expensive for the same 1Gb link.

okay you are getting confused? Ifdyou have a 1Gb link then you won't be on residential or paying peanuts - do you mean your computer shows as 1Gbps on the Ethernet card?

Who resells VM connections?
