Re: V6 still not supported

I would like to ask an earnest question here, because I work in an
environment where IPv6 has been deployed for more than a decade, and it's
just automatically part of things we do and have to solve for, so I will
openly admit my perspective can be warped. I am truly curious about what
the perceived blockers are for you, and others with the same perspective.

You appear to run a residential ISP. There are essentially 3 things you
would have to do to deploy IPv6.

1. CPE would need to support it.
2. Your network infrastructure would have to support it.
3. Subscriber services ( DHCP / DNS / IPAM ) would have to support it.

Putting aside the 'zero value' idea, if you were to decide to take steps
today , what are your blockers?

Gary,

I'm the owner of the business.  I answer a lot of tier 1 support calls.  I
read every single ticket summary.  It's not denial, it's just that I'm
small enough to be able to follow up on every support issue.  You can claim
bull if you want but my evidence can beat up your claim.

Bull.  I have not complained to any corporation in the last 5 years
where the stanard response was not "We've never heard that complaint
before".  recently every one I my street complained about the same
things at the same time, but we all got that response.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
