Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media
tbh I'm kind of new to VM ... I've worked at other ISPs for the last 30+ years and have been present many a time when Virgin talked about how they were rolling out IPv6 .. so I kinda just assumed (yes I know what assumption did) they'd have got the job done by now. Even BT has managed to do it for God's sake! So I fired up a new VM at a remote ISP as I needed somewhere to test/develop some code and low and behold it's IPv6 only. Not a problem I thought, who needs IPv4 these days anyway. Turns out I do as my new Virgin link doesn't do IPv6 .. wth Virgin?!! Now I know my company was fairly advanced had we had 6BONE and then full IPv6 from the very early days and one of the first things I did was make sure that the ISP I was at was IPv6 capable across their network ... so I'm a little spoiled ... and thankfully I do have backup connections to home which, whilst slow (FTTC) are fully dual stacked so I can still do IPv6 / etc ... but really Virgin ... 2020 and still no IPv6?
