If you have contacts at Bigpipe please get in touch with them and ask them WTF they're doing. This is absurd.
I e-mailed them to ask about this, here is their response.
It boggles my mind that in 2018 "just turn off IPv6 to everyone who is already using it, and provide no timeframe for when it'll be fixed" is an acceptable way to run a network.
Hey Michael,
Thanks for getting in touch,
We're removing IPv6 support as we're making some changes to our network and its topology, in order to expand our coverage and increase our overall capacity. As IPv6 was only ever available as a beta, supporting it after the upcoming network changes would not be possible within a reasonable time frame. Unfortunately, we cannot delay the upcoming changes to our network, as we need to increase our overall network capacity to ensure our customers can continue to enjoy their connections to their full potential. We don't have anything to announce at this stage regarding re-availability of IPv6, but watch this space!
Cheers,
[...]
