I'm going on professional year 24 of clients requiring that IPv6 be deactivated on every device in their network. Whee.
My current ISP still does not offer IPv6 🤦 🤦 🤦
Verizon, my ISP, offers IPv6 in my area but the implementation is broken and it ends up being an order of magnitude slower than simply using IPv4 and HE as an IPv6 tunnel broker.
AT&T is the same. And the last time I looked they don't give you enough address space to host your own subnet. You get a /64 instead of a /56. And it's slower than ipv4.
Every few months I try it out, complain and then switch it off.
I'm on ATT. I can get a /60 from their V6 router. I use /64s with each of my VLANs. I use a true bridge mode that bypasses their gateway device only using it for eap authentication. My router handles the connection. It works great honestly. Not sure what you mean by it being slower than V4. The V6 is equally as fast if not faster, here in Dallas. The routes are great on both V4 and V6, it takes on average 4 hops for me to reach the rest of the Internet. It's about 1-3ms RTT to city-local addresses over ICMP echo. Very stable, too.
Interesting. In NC here. Not sure if there's a difference regionally. I was seeing that kind of RTT on ipv4, but ipv6 was slower. I'll need to give it another try. The last time I did was at my last place where I had the BGW210. I have the BGW320 now and haven't tried on that. Maybe that, or changes in their routing since then will make a difference.
