So Sky uses IPv6?

Sky has had dual stack IPv4/IPv6 for about seven years now.

I did not know that, but then I don't use Sky. Oh well i still have 4 months more or less to make up my mind what I am doing.

But how would you use this DHCPv6-PD? I have looked online and come up with very little that makes sense, maybe it is just me getting older.


With my Asus router I simply enable IPV6.

When I enable IPV6 it shows a bunch of additional options and the top option is "enable/disable DHCP-PD" which is already enabled by default.

Yes, I can't imagine there are any routers that know what IPv6 is but don't support prefix delegation.

Cheers, with not having anything to do with IPv6 as I have never used it I would not have a clue. I have just had a look at my router settings and on the IPv6 and found Dynamic IP(SLAAC/DHCPv6), so i presume that is it.

Cheers, it gives me another option when my contract comes up for renewal, depending on how much Now broadband charges compared to what I can get with Plusnet, but sometimes it is better the devil you know
