IPv6 support on Virgin media

[dgcarter]

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

[WiteWulf]

I'm on 216.66.80.26, also.

Possibly worth noting that VM traffic shapes my scp/ssh traffic to 20mb/s, too, but not VPN to my workplace ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ksim]

tried both 216.66.80.26 and 216.66.88.98, currently using on 216.66.88.98, I am in Startford-upon-Avon

Hm, ssh/scp works fine for me, no shaping

[het69]

They shouldn't be shaping anything!

[ksim]

after switching to M200, still the same issue, download is shaped at 20Mbit/s using HE.

How are you testing your ipv6 speed?

I just ran a test here: http://test.telenor.net/

I was monitoring traffic through my internet gateway, and it was definitely going through HE. I got full rate up and down.

However, repeating the tests now I'm getting much lower rates, so I wonder if HE have some sort of throttling if you use a large amount of data in a short time?

I tried thinkbroadband, ipv6-test, just downloading a file from a resource with high-speed net I am sure about, didn't consume high traffic before the test, it is always like that, I doubt it is HE as we will be seeing a lot of complaints about that on HE forum.

Both ksim and I were using think broadband speed test which should be an apples to apples comparison.

I've not seen any evidence of throttling even after a lot of heavy ipv6 usage on HE (all YouTube traffic goes via ipv6 for example).

Is there anything about how the tunnels are configured that might cause a problem? I use plain vanila OpenWRT 18.06 with everything configured through the LuCI web gui. My connection is through an SH1 in modem mode.

I am using Mikrotik, the configuration was done using the console, standard "6to4 Tunnel" followed the documentation on HE site, no shaping is configured on the router (did a clean setup), VM hub is in modem mode. CPU usage on my Mikrotik as about 0%, the same configuration worked fine with other providers.

tried a different IPv6 tunnel provider, https://ipv6.ip4market.ru/, the same picture, speed is not going higher than 20Mbps.
