Re: IPv6 support on Virgin media
Virgin already has 2 IPv6 prefixes and they have IPv6 implemented under the hood so they have already went through all the work to set it up. Its just DHCPv6 appears to be firewalled off, i see router advertisements on the WAN interface of my router but they have the managed flag set. I see no reason why VM hasn't rolled out IPv611KViews0likes19CommentsRe: IPv6 support on Virgin media
glad to hear the install went smoothly! looks like city fibre isnt in my area, if it was i would probably try to convince my mother to switch ISP so one through it. when i eventually get my own place and if its available i will most likely be going for an ISP that uses city fibre. Does look like it is planned to be in my area though so thats good to know.2.7KViews0likes4CommentsRe: IPv6 support on Virgin media
"if"? VM is going to have to deploy IPv6 at some point, likely sooner rather than later, there already is IPv6 infrastructure but it appears like DHCPv6 is firewalled off so you dont get prefix delegation, i really do wonder what the hold up is for IPv6 deployment1.9KViews1like0CommentsRe: IPv6 support on Virgin media
