Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media
SOOOO...still no IPv6? we've asked for 13 YEARS! THE REAL REASON why VM want to postpone IPv6 as long as possible is because THEY SELL IPv4 Static addresses to their business clients. It's a big business to buy IPv4 addresses as they are running out and very expensive to buy a block of IP's. IPv6 is free and you can have millions of IP's.. all your devices get a static PUBLIC IP. BETTER SECURITY NO MORE NAT ISSUES (open NAT for gaming on PC/PS5/Xbox) Devices have better support, direct connections as well as secure connections. ITS FASTER - it has more efficient routing, faster mulitcasts - (cast to youtube/tv/chromecast/airplay) BETTER PRIVACY - it has built in authentication, VM want to monitor your connections and traffic manage heavy users on social media/streams/downloads with their overutilized outdated cable network... why would they want to make it harder peak into your internet history? ALL FOR FREE? Why would they waste their resources when they can keep buying and selling your IPv4 addresses to big companies and profit, every time you join and leave. How embarassing, VM are literally the south park cable guys. milking your money. https://media.tenor.com/2AES1Szq_hMAAAAC/oh-jeez-thats-terrible-cable-company-worker.gif Run away as fast as you can, cityfiber and openreach are expanding and we need a time machine!1.5KViews1like22CommentsRe: IPv6 support on Virgin media
