People did it with 4G. Bought 4G phones with the only 4G network being EE. They bought it and only now are able to use it. Or had to pay extra or wait till contract is due. People moved to EE or ISPs that didn't charge extra. Thats where you are with IPv6.
Well if they get the batteries to where they can do 250 miles a day or more and recharge quickly. They might become viable in outer areas.
You seriously are my new hero.
Let's make this happen, folks.
Whilst it's a good principle you really can't penalize providers just because the DC they are operating out of does not support IPv6.
Are people here really that bothered whether a provider can offer IPv6 and if they did would the use it? I would suspect the overwhelming majority will not.
So the basic test of:
I feel all tests fail.
No, lots of people request it for the gimmick value, but traffic is beyond pitiful.
Yes, they made the decision to host there, so they have decided consequentially not to offer IPv6.
No
If they want to advertise and be successful, they'll work with a datacenter that will. Whole point is to spur some adoption of IPv6. It needs to be on their mind.
Unless CC is ready to roll out ipv6, and this is a nice way of narrowing LEB eligibility....
I doubt CC will let it happen, the last thing they need is all their resellers tossed out.
Really, it is not that hard to setup an ipv6 tunnel and claim "here, we have ipv6". Noone will be tossed out, except the really lazy ones.
I meant, if CC provided ipv6, including their brands.
But it's all moot IMO, LEB is like the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be.
Just like everyone else, I really can't understand why they haven't done it yet. Its not rocket science. But......
Don't they give out free /48 blocks though?
Likely, I'd be extremely surprised to see the policy stick. While CC may be 'ipv6 ready' in their newer Buffalo POP, I highly doubt any of their other spots are even close to ready or ever getting it, period.
But hey, push for 50 and see what happens.

But isnt this what the object is? to put enough pressure on providers like CC to implement and push IPv6 ? I know that IPv6 is not available widly in exotic locations but this is the best start where the re-sellers (the datacenter's clients) will be pushing for IPv6 from their upstreams.
Maybe they don't have enough incentive. My experience shows that less than 10% of the users ask for ipv6, even when it's clearly advertised as available, you just have to ask to get it. And even those who ask for it... the traffic is next to nothing.
We do a /64 with each VPS. We have a feature request pending to provide routed /64 support, but there's not enough hours in the day. Ultimately our IPV6 rebuild will provide route /64's and IPV6 anycast.

I disagree, based on your first answer.
Reddit banned in Russia because some stupid fucks were talking about drugs. Facebook is next because of "gay emoji". I feel VPN will be in demand there soon, for the people which dont know how to use Tor.
If they learn this, already IT knowledge levels increased and IPv6 and need for it become more clear for a larger percentage of population which already is pretty literate in these things compared with others.
44 likes. just 6 more required for this not to happen
Most people in Russia doesn't speak English thus they don't visit reddit and use main vk.com instead of facebook. Basically it'll be a long time.
Also remember even if it does happen the effect is lessened even more as it only affects LEB listings, not LET.
On topic... Just got the email:
I would say the same for chinese, yet they do need to get out on the internet now and then.
Yes, IPv6 traffic is low, but that is because people prioritize IPv4, this probably means that at least half of the existing IPv6 traffic HAS to be IPv6 for a reason or the other. It is already a lot and past 10% in the whole internet and then you can no longer avoid IPv6, 10% more visitors/customers can make a serious difference.
53 likes, It's official.
Buried in an unrelated thread, almost at random, in a forum owned by a natural enemy of IPv6 and it took like, what?, 90 minutes, to get 50 thanks. Who says IPv6 has no future?
This - I did the same at EDIS first, UPC was not offering transit with IPv6 (kinda strange, but eh, it's UPC) so EDIS just got a /29 netblock from RIPE and 2 tunnel servers in Germany with BGP, was up and running in a few hours (with help from you actually). If you want it there is no reason why you can't do it within some hours.
We have it at incero and nobody complained. There is no justification not to offer it even if only 1% of users need it for 1% of their needs and even if your DC hopes to make money from selling IPv4. They can't stop you.
Well, at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the next tag added to LEB will be
native ipv6:PAnd an 'IPv6 tunnel' tag I guess.
Waiting to see all IPv4-only offers removed from LEB....
