Or has no engineer capable of configuring it, or support staff trained to handle the issues that will come up.

There are many reasons why providers don’t support v6.

Unfortunately from my experience it's usually because the small local

costs and require upgrades to operational systems and they see no new
revenue associated.

Hi Shane,

6rd works well enough, has been around long enough, and doesn't
require any significant equipment upgrades to implement. An ISP who
hasn't at least implemented that much is just being lazy.
