Stephen Morris:
Yeah, my ISP has told me I should disable any attempts to use IPv6
on
my system as they do not support it. I'm in Australia and my ISP is
now the biggest ISP in Australia.
Likewise (I'm with the biggest/worst ISP in Australia). They really are
being stupid about it. The problem (running out of IPv4 IP addresses)
is not going to go way. The solution is IPv6, not NAT, nor 6to4
proxies. If they're waiting for something else, I don't see it
happening.
Oddly, when I first joined the NBN (the Networking Bloody Nightmare), I
did have IPv6. Then some time afterwards, they switched it off.
