Charter automatically sets everyone in my area up with a HE.net ipv6 tunnel now. Something tells me that's going to be the extent of their ipv6 rollout.
In other news... meh.
@subigo what? That's just lame. At least they should have put their own tunneling server and setup everyone with tunnels there.
I added an AAAA record to freevps.us 10 days ago.
Most of those requests were from me testing it.
@dmmcintyre3 and why the ffff: ?
@rds100 excluding ipv4 addresses (which show as ::ffff:10.234.56.78 in the log)
@dmmcintyre3 ok
Yep. My Internet went out like two weeks ago for a few hours and when I called them about it they said they were "rolling out IPv6 to my area". When it came back up it was nothing but a HE.net tunnel... shrug
The FBI is worried about the wider adoption of IPv6 - harder to snoop.

I posted this on another thread then saw this thread. Probably more appropriate here ...

Thought that might be of interest to users in the UK (and maybe those elsewhere who have an interest in IPv6).
Woot! We'll be ready.
Interesting to know that in Canada, @Francisco and Pony is the only one officially taking part in this
And they are not even based in Canada
Thought that might be of interest to users in the UK
Shame it seems like they are the only uk isp doing this, but they do not offer a unlimited package so no use for me :P
@Taylor : what is your monthly usage? 60 GB ( or 120 GB on Fibre) is quite a hefty usage. Don't forget it is unlimited from midnight to 8 am.
@aubs I have unlimited 10Mbps, I eat up about 8GB/day in my house
I just pulled this from the Virgin router status page:
Sadly it reset a couple days ago
There was some crazy huge counter there.
@Jacob and @ElliotJ : Seriously guys, what do you download, especially ElliotJ, unless of course it is wildly off.
That's download of 0.4 MB/sec (3.2 Mb/sec) every second of the day.
I'm on 30mbit fiber (soon going up to 60mbit) and my ISP provides free Usenet access.
Not difficult to chew up bandwidth at all
Oh, what do I download?
Lots and lots of Linux isos, and books in the public domain, of course. wink wink

Sorry, I meant ElliotJ doing 80GB in 2 days!
But that's a lot still!
Wow, that's pretty intense. I'm limited to 10Mbps.
I cant find that /: but look at what I have downloaded from my seedbox alone its easily 60GB just on that. When I can get fibre I will likely get the sky unlimited one.
Yup, it cuts off my SSH connections regularly, within a couple minutes usually.
Go into your putty connection settings, and set your seconds between keepalives to ~15. That should help
IIRC, my ISP hasn't even given me a IPv6-capable modem, so nope on that count.
My BuyVM VPS has full IPv6 support, but the dedi I rent for Minecraft servers doesn't have it.
How many sites are even accessible through IPv6 right now anyways?
Edit: Here's my home speedtest.
If it's of importance for anyone: T-Mobile USA has enabled IPv6 in it's whole network as of yesterday.
I do have IPv6 at home by a HE tunnel (too lazy to set one up to our DC) and we have IPv6 in all locations (KVM only) which seems to be used "a bit" (Aggregated on all locations around 40Mbit 95% v6 traffic, most of that in Austria, Switzerland and Poland)
gogo6 is nice, few clicks had IPV6 working nice, couldn't get HE tunnel to work either, even talking to an ex he employee on IRC or other IPV6 enthusiasts.
I been ready at ionvz.com for the last year and a half, just waiting for AT&T to actually push out a firmware update so I don't have to tunnel from home. And my personal VPS is also using Native IPv6. While most visitors will never travel to the site over IPv6 yet, I wanted to have it early-on.
@Jack and whoever else is cursed enough to use Virgin Media, the problem of timeouts can be from two major factors, the incorrect cable power signal or your router simply being trash.
Both of which applied to me, I am on the 50Mbit package be ever since we got our cable internet in 2005 (? It was 20Mbit with NTL, someone can check when NTL released their 20Mbit) we had timeout issues.
After I got a little more interested in computers and crap I posted on Virgin's forum about it and a few years later and a few threads later I got a response telling us to get an engineer to check the power levels. That engineer never turned up, but my dad had a friend who happened to be a Virgin engineer (no, not what you're thinking) who put a signal attinuator, which didn't seem to fix the problem.
He then asked virgin to ship us a router but specifically asked not to ship a superhub or whatever crap they call it, you can make your own decision as to why. My internet coneation works nicely now with the cheapy flimsy D-Link router they sent. When I can be bothered I will find my switch and install some router software on an old box and get rid of the D-Link.
it way be out. but it takes awhile for hosts/ISPs to get them up
