IPv6 support on Virgin media
Does anyone know whether (and if so when) Virgin plan to implement IPv6 on its network?
Forum Discussion
Hi all,
As far as I was aware, Virgin Media Ireland have had IPv6 in some form (DS-Lite IPv6 perhaps) for a couple of years or more as I recall getting my brother to check his IP address last year and it showed both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address. However, I'm currently in Dublin on the VM network and it is only showing an IPv4 address.
I'm wondering now if he was connected to his work network via VPN at the time that he reported his IP or perhaps on his mobile and not connected to the home Wi-Fi. 🤔
Can anyone confirm whether VM Ireland have implemented some form of IPv6 at some point but may have removed it now?
Regards
Thinking about it.
Are you using the ISP supplied Modem/Router as your Router, or do you have a stand-alone router with the Modem/Router in Modem-Only mode?

Supplied Cisco Cable Modem / Router which probably doesn't support IPv6 anyway. I thought about it afterwards and wished that I hadn't posted my query.
My assumptions about how my brother got an IPv6 address were probably correct. I was really just thinking out loud.
