IPv6 support on Virgin media
Does anyone know whether (and if so when) Virgin plan to implement IPv6 on its network?
Forum Discussion
Today is the ninth anniversary of this thread. Have any other threads been going as long?
Quite an apt time to add that I'm off to BT soon, now that FTTP is available in my street. I can't wait for the 10th anniversary to come round and still be in the same position. :smileyvery-happy:
how're we doing folks, any movement?
No change. The same 22,000(ish) users still trialing away and no news I can see from other sources.
Suspect we won't see anything until there is some clarity on Brexit. A lot of capital projects seem to be on hold in many businesses across the country.
cheers... and thanks brexit!

Dump IPv6 and IPv4. Adopt IPvBritannia1
It would be a neat RFC Document....
Joking aside, Hard for me to see this as a normal "capital project".
Perhaps capital is the wrong terminology. IPV6 roll out is a long term project with no immediate prospect of driving short term revenue but soaking up money and people. A classic example of a project that gets put on the back burner when the commercial environment looks a bit iffy. :smileyfrustrated:
And long may it remain on the back burner.
I want IPv6, but not what VM was proposing to deliver. I currently have an IPv6 HE tunnel that provides exactly what I need and the nearest to a dual stack that I think I will ever get.
VM please use the time you have, to reconsider the stupid DS-Lite proposal. We were constantly told you have plenty of IPv4 capacity. So why throw it away. (Or sell it)
CGNAT is going to come whether you like it or not. At least with DS-lite you can still receive inbound connections.
Google's v6 stats tend to be flat for the first 4 or so months of the year, for whatever reason. Perhaps we'll see something happening soon.

Slightly off topic I know but in praise of IPv6 .......
I now have 2 Xboxes running at home, both with Open NAT courtesy of BT's IPv6 ........ No messing with IPv4 port forwarding etc. etc.
One advantage of having BT and VM (for work connection redundancy btw) circuits.
