IPv6 support on Virgin media

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

My he.net ip6 over ip4 tunnel works very well through my cable modem router. he.net can also allocate you a /64 in addition to the tunnel endpoint address. You can use the he.net DNS service to allocate forward and reverse DNS names to your ip6 addresses, and use the /64 to provide routes within your home network to all the other devices and computers. So I've been able to access ipv6 only services outside my network this way and also provide ipv6 servers globally visible over ipv6 running inside my home network.

    Also using he.net IPV6 tunnel here, but I asked for, and got, a /48 prefix, so every VLAN here (there are several!) has a /64 allocated. On the face of it, that allows a ridiculously large number of IPV6 addresses for a home network, but then that's what IPV6 can do.

     

    I don't use their DNS service since I was already using dyndns.com to provide resolution for my IPV4 servers, and they do support the use of AAAA records.
