IPv6 support on Virgin media

Virgin Media are not going to do anything that causes too many issues for the customers.  After all if they break something major, customer satisfaction goes out the windows as do wait times.  As has been pointed out they have 5 million customers across the UK..  I've seen this behaviour with their email system as, one way to make the system more secure is to retire the old settings and just have one universal set of settings regardless if your email address.  VM have done the second, but not the first, because of the impact it would have on customers who don't read the information that VM send out :(.

I'm not a VM employee so I wouldn't get to see the results of any IPv6 trial.  Hell they don't even listen to us when we suggest allowing manual DNS setup on the hubs - but then again neither does BT AFAIK.

NAT broke the internet - Port forwarding provided a workaround but CGNAT means port forwarding will be broken.  Doing a little research does show a newer alternative to Dual-Stack Lite lw4o6 where the core network is IPv6 and IPv4 is tunneled over IPv6 but the NAT is done at the CPE rather than the Gateway.

So Dual-stack lite isn't the only way forward and neither is full dual stack.
