It's not really about lack of CPE compatibility - ISPs could just start offering v6 to all customers, same as Snap currently does. Then it's up to the CPE to request a PD via DHCPv6 (or not).

It's more about having all the other bits in place - at a pure network level it's pretty straightforward, but it's all the associated management pieces (accounting, static allocations, etc) that take time.

There's also some nervousness about possible problems that might be caused by misconfigured systems. I think it's unfounded nervousness, similar to concern over switching on DNSSEC validation. But I'm not the only one to have a say in it.

Not to mention funding/prioritisation issues, but I don't really want to go there.

I have been sold two ADSL2+ modem/wifi/routers in the last 6 months that
seemed to be wanting to accept IPv6 assignment from ISP (Belkin and
Netgear). Sadly ISP did not supply and helldesk says "we dont have any
plans to provide that", so it defaults to off with no way to tell if CPE
fully works or not. The 6to4 mapping on the Netgear seems to work a
treat anyways when manually enabled, so me customers happy enough for now.

Anyone familiar with the latest (in)compatibility reasons for that lack
of service on NZ provider networks using the currently available CPE?
