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

thanks very much. I see the address checker now and it works. the top four lines are vdsl (clean and impacted) and gfast (clean and impacted). there is another line that talks about FTTP on demand and says available, but then a line later which says that it's not available..
I've checked some of the ISP's and interestingly, some offer 270meg plus, and some top out at 150meg plus.. not sure why. I like the idea of A&A as a very geeky ISP who would do things like RDNS etc, but they are pricey, have a data cap and only topping out at 150. zen gets good rep but is also £10pm more than I'm paying now (and £20pm more than I was paying several months ago). there's always talktalk... am I right to be leery or have they cleaned up their act? broadband is only a utility for me these days as I sort out other services elsewhere. Can you have all this without a phoneline?
Also, I use my own router (Ubiquiti UDM) can I ditch their router and use my own, or do I need a modem mode or similar? thanks for the help.
That Availability checker is similar to the old openreach one.
Basically, any provider that uses Openreach will be tied to the products listed in that chart.
FTTPoD is quite expensive for most people, but you could try to get a quote (Install would likely be towards end of the year!), after a fixed term with FTTPoD then your line becomes FTTP with Openreach so you can then move to any provider with any of their FTTP packages. Again - It's not cheap.
Some areas do have other providers who run their own lines - but this would require you to look that up.
https://labs2.thinkbroadband.com/local/postcode-search is a okay resource.
Use the https://labs.thinkbroadband.com/local/broadband-map to see if anyone really close to you has FTTP, if they don't then the cost is probably too high to even look at FTTPoD.
