[nznog] Bigpipe removing IPv6 from existing broadband connections

Hi all, Looks like Bigpipe has decided to withdraw IPv6 from their broadband customers... If you have contacts at Bigpipe please get in touch with them and ask them WTF they're doing. This is absurd. I've been recommending Bigpipe to people for ages because they offered IPv6. Forcing their customers to renumber and drop back to legacy IPv4 at this point is just idiotic, let alone not continuing to offer this service. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bigpipe Broadband Date: 14 May 2018 at 09:54 Subject: Changes to your Bigpipe connection Hi [...], Thanks for taking part in our IPv6 trial that we announced on Geekzone. We’ve had a heap of really useful feedback to keep in mind for our future developments in this space.

From the 12th of June 2018 the trial will be ending and you may notice a short 5-10 minute outage while we withdraw it. We’ll be making the change overnight at a time that has as little impact as possible. There’s nothing further you need to do, however as with any outage if you find you haven’t automatically connected again, simply restart your modem or router.

If you have any questions or want to chat this through, you can get in touch via https://ww.bigpipe.co.nz/contact-us Thanks again for getting involved. The Bigpipe People -- Michael
