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

If they were waiting for everyone to get a hub4 then you're looking at a lot longer than a year, they have literally millions of customers and some of them will still be rocking things like hub2's without any issues, if i were still on a residential service with VM i would have stuck with the hub2 myself, so yeah that isn't going to be what they were waiting for and as far as i know the older hubs "can" do v6 anyway there just isn't really any point at this time, there is still no requirement for v6 to be rolled out as its only the smaller companies that are affected by the v4 shortage, the big names still work on v4 just fine
Crazy really, All VM had to do was admit CGNAT was not fit for purpose and provide a full dual stack. They could have done this years ago, but priority has been headline speeds rather than future proofing their network.
Leaving IPv6 on the back burner means that once they really have to make the jump to retain connectivity with the rest of the world, they will again be looking for the quick fix for legacy connectivity and argue it no longer is an issue as everyone now uses IPv6!
