Towards the final stage in discussions I was told that it will cost $1500. I find this quite ridiculous and it will certainly not motivate people to move to v6 if providers put a direct price tag on it. I am going through a bandwidth reseller though so I am not sure who is trying to jack me here. Has anyone here gone through a similar experience?Ooh, Verizon? Good luck. Do you know what pop (VZ calles them "hubs") your existing circuit is out of? Not all of 701 is IPv6 enabled. If you are currently served from a v4 only location you're out of luck.
POS-6 SJC
I ordered an Ethernet circuit from Verizon last year as dual-stack IPv4/IPv6. There was no extra cost involved. However, they never did actually deliver the layer 3 portion, so I just let them languish into obscurity. My problem was that I'm closer to a v4 only pop (Sacramento), but the closest 4/6 pop is further away in San Jose. For some reason they could not figure out how to go there and kept defaulting to Sac. Eventually they called me and said it's just not possible to deliver the service. I ended up placing an order with Global Crossing and the dual-stack process was completely painless.
Sigh.. Explains why I never got a straight answer on native v6 support. First they said yes then now Tunnel only. Perhaps time to turn them off. Zaid
