Hi,
In answer to a ticket entitled "Not getting an IPv6 prefix today", here is what the help desk told me:
Currently XXX have IPv6 services turned off due to some ongoing investigations with this service.
Once this is turned back on you will be able to get an IPv6 address again. and in response to my follow-up bleat
As IPv6 is not the Primary access method we offer on our connections this does not need to be updated on the network status page.
IPv6 is not a fully released product therefore it is still going through testing and this is why we are currently unable to apply static IPv6 address (I didn't ask about a static address and don't want one.)
This morning, I still have no IPv6 service and the XXX status page still says "OK - No Known Network Problems".
Now, since I've had stable IPv6 service for a long time and it often gives me better response times than IPv4, I was a bit annoyed by this. Isn't it time that people consider IPv6 to be the primary access method, and IPv4 to be a legacy solution?

Luckily not all providers think like this.
Here's a graph of the IPv6 penetration in Norway recently https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/plotpenetration.php?country=no
All because of an "increase in the number of Telenor retail ADSL, VDSL and GPON customers with native dual stack access."
A nice writeup with technical details here. http://lists.cluenet.de/pipermail/ipv6-ops/2014-November/010244.html

Norway? Close to us in population sure, but they are only following along in Belgiums footsteps. https://www.vyncke.org/ipv6status/plotpenetration.php?country=be In Q4 of 2013 Belgium were still futzing around with IPv4 and announced a "wonderful" market growth rate of 1.3% (~50,000 users, up from 0.6% woohoo!). In Feb-Mar 2014 Belgium rolled out IPv6 country-wide and announced a Q1 2014 market growth rate of 22.6% (~700,000 users). For those who have been ignoring it; * IPv6 has been growing exponentially since 2007. * It has now past 5% of Google and Akamai global customer base. * IPv6-only CDNs, ISPs and "cloud" services are popping up like wildflowers everywhere. * who is going to be the last ISP jumping on that customer gravy train?
