Re: "Programmers can't get IPv6 thus that is why they do not have IPv6 in their applications"....

Deployment Update

Published on Tuesday, October 23, 2012

IPv6 has been launched on all Arris DOCSIS 3.0 C4 CMTSes, covering
over 50% our network.  We are targeting completion of the rest of
the network by mid-2013. Our progress has led to nearly 2.5% of our
Xfinity Internet customers  actively using native dual stack.
Additionally, IPv6 traffic has increased 375% since World IPv6 Day
in June 2011.  Following World IPv6 Launch in June 2012 Comcast
also observed that approximately 6% of the 2012 Olympics served
over YouTube to Comcast customers was over IPv6.

The update you sent is lovely, except I can tell you that the one (also 
an Arris, running DOCSIS 3.0) which was installed in late October in my 
house in Washington simply does not run v6 with the pre-installed load.  
Now, is there some firmware upgrade which could fix this?  Maybe, but it 
sure would be nice if the folks who answer the phone in support could 
direct me to someone who has heard of this technology.  So no, as I said 
before, Comcast has *not* removed the v6 barrier here.  I'd like it to 
"just work", please.

Looking at http://mydeviceinfo.comcast.net you get a choice of wireless
or IPv6 in Arris.
