Sorry I know this is old.

I just got IPv6 too - I changed my DNS servers on my mac to Googles to get 10/10

Is that right? Or are there some I should put into the router from BT? or should I have BT auto give me some?

It's the same with Sky, that the customer DNS servers are not IPv6-enabled even though customer connections are.

Of course that doesn't mean IPv6 addresses can't be looked up, it just means that a DNS server without an IPv4 address (unlikely for some time) will not be able to be accessed by the Sky/BT customer DNS servers .

So not likely to cause lookup failures for quite some time, but something that both ISPs should rectify.

I posted on the BT forums just the other day asking for IPv6 to be enabled, take a look at my thread here if you like.

As mentioned, they can't do IPv6 on a per-user basis for some reason, but when I installed OpenWRT onto an old router and swapped out the HH5, I was able to force it to get me an IPv6 address.

Just like idmanager, I am also on the Leabrooks exchange.
