Does your ISP support IPv6?

@toroidalcore @theraspb I'm told that some upgrades on the docsis side are coming, which will enable 1G symmetric (I'm on 500 down / 35 up IIRC at the moment).

They've been saying that for something like the past two or three years. I'm not holding my breath.

But last time I quoted for fiber they would have had to directional-drill the entire length of my street at an estimated cost of around $80K. So that's not an option yet.

There's new apartments being built the next street over though, fingers crossed they run a fiber to that building and maybe I can get an install for <$50K at some point

@toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town In my case, I'm with a local-ish ISP who bought up a massive block of IPv4 early on, and has used that to their benefit, avoiding furthering IPv6 adoption as long as they can help it. >.>

But at least everyone gets a public IPv4 or two - none of their wired residential customers have to deal with CGNAT.

@azonenberg

Spectrum's been talking about the upgrade for years, supposedly it's coming in the summer to my area, but per Reddit people are getting it, so that's something.

That said, there's a local(ish, same state) company building out fiber who's finally starting to build out in my neighborhood and is taking orders. I'm planning on switching, even though they do IPv4 CGNAT. I get a /60 for v6 at least.

@theraspb

@maddy Good on them for grabbing enough IPv4 and avoiding CGNAT. Not that I want to cheer for CGNAT, but it is a shame they can't push ahead with v6.

(Then again I don't know their infrastructure, so who knows.)

@toroidalcore Depends on the ISP

@linkachus17 Do you have more than one?

@toroidalcore Used to be. But the one am currently using has IPv6. While the other doesn't

@toroidalcore I get a /48 and I use different /64's for different parts of my network

@toroidalcore Yes, but not by default or publicly advertised. We asked in the shop and got IPv6 enabled for us. Apparently for them it's available on an experimental request basis.

@toroidalcore yes and they charge extra for it, *and* only on "business lines". Fuckers.

@viccie30 Nice, I only get a /60, but it's better than nothing. I've heard of some ISPs only giving out one /64.

@AliciaBytes Not great, but not terrible.

@dch That's too bad, I guess they consider it an 'enterprise' feature so it's gotta cost more...

@toroidalcore A /60 would probably work for me, I don't have that many subnets, but it gives me room to expand my network if necessary. And the /48 allows me to neatly map a /64 to each VLAN.
I have one fixed IPv4 address as well and if I pay extra I can get a /29 as well, but I don't need that (yet).

@viccie30 I've got subnets, but not too many at the moment. The extras would be handy and I could probably find something for them eventually.

I haven't looked into getting extra IPv4 at my current ISP, but at least I do get one public one. I'm planning on switching to a fiber ISP and will give that up, but at least they also give out a /60. They' re a little cheaper, but I guess I could get a public IPv4 from them and pay about what I pay now.

@toroidalcore yes, but I have more latency with IPv6 :)))) (about 9ms to 20ms compared) and so they are very much lax about it.

@itsozgur Interesting.

@toroidalcore yes, but I purposely signed up to them because they are one of the few in my country that do.
Even so, i had to ask them to enable it

@toroidalcore Yes and no

Telefónica España supports IPv6 only on mobile network, it seems that in households they’re having problems to offer it

@amrtf It seems like mobile providers were a little quicker to catch on with IPv6. I think Verizon here had it on mobile before residential.
