No IPV6 support at all when I was with TT. Not sure if that has changed now?

No, TalkTalk are the only major ISP not to announce their plans for IPv6.

Plusnet? Or have they recently moved on?

Have Plusnet announced their plan for IPv6? I haven't heard much at all since the trial ended.

Also, I was thinking as "major" in this context as ISPs with 4+ million customers.

Oooo, I think you're being a little restrictive there . Presumably they are well over a million these days.

But - not important. As you say, PN seem to have gone to sleep on the issue. From what I now know about how IPv6 should be implemented their trial, which I was on, was a complete waste of time as they appeared to issue a single static IPv6 address, just emulating mimicking IPv4.

I probably am! Although even at a million they'd be over 3 million short of TalkTalk's tally.

Yikes, I didn't know that. They should have been dishing out 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses to each customer like the other IPv6 providers do. In fact they probably dish out more, Sky hands out a /56 prefix but "only" has a /64 active on the WAN interface. Possibly for future use.

Plusnet was hardly a trial then, more of an experiment.

What IP addressing do you have on Three? On my Three phone it is IPv4 with carrier grade NAT, which has no possibility for running a server which is accessible remotely.

My phone is probably the same. As a wifi hotspot it hands out (static) 192.168s, and when USB-tethered to my ASUS router that does the same.

I've also now got the Three MiFi Huawei B311 with the unlimited data SIM (100GB + unlimited add-on).

The Huawei B311 sounds interesting, I wonder if it has port forwarding options. Obviously that would only work for incoming connections if you had a WAN IP address without CGNAT, but if Three are serious about people ditching landlines they need to be offering everything people have now on traditional ISPs.

I was looking in its control panel yesterday. Various functions are disabled. I'll have a look later if I remember, things to do right now.

Prompt me if I don't do that by early evening. Tomorrow I won't have time, but after that I'll have plenty.

Edit: And it only has a single ethernet port!

Will do, might be interesting to know for other people considering a brave new world of SIM-based home broadband!

Did you find anything out? Port forwarding options and such?
