Thanks for the info, that's really useful to know.
I'd prefer not to use the Homehub if I went that route, the cost is appealing, the 18mth contract not so much

A&A customers have been routing native v6 over BTW and BE circuits for years, at least as long as I have been with them.

I think I'd like some evidence of that claim where domestic customers are concerned... I did some investigating.

IDNet have native IPv6 working with Cisco routers and a Draytek, A&A have it working with their Firebrick 2700... available at £350 for the base model, £650 for the full version. Both prices exclusive of VAT.

Apple have changed their advert for the Airport Extreme to limit it to IPv6 tunnels only. I suspect domestic routers that will support native IPv6 out of the box are a way off yet...

Hi billford - Northwind here. I'm not logged in at present but I can assure you that I have full IPv6 native connectivity through A&A. I use a Netgear WNDR3700 running OpenWRT; the router is available off Amazon for about 120 quid. I assume that the other Anonymous poster up-thread has something similar. WRT54GLs are also popular, with OpenWRT or DD-WRT software.

I've been with A&A for about 18 months and have been on IPv6 all that time.

Would you like to tracepath6 to a host on my network? Would that convince you?

Since when did that have any bearing on whether an ISP supports native IPv6? If you don't have a DVD player then you can't watch DVDs... but that doesn't mean that DVDs don't exist!

Netgear have just issued an update to their firmware for WNDR3700v1 (1.07.98), and also for their newer v2 model, which claims to implement IPv6 in various formats (Tunnel, DHCPv6, PPPoE, passthrough). I haven' t got round to testing it yet mostly because my ISP (Be) doesn't do native IPv6.

Aquiss the company i might go for they got 45 gigs peak time and off peak times are 8pm untill 7.59am plus its off peak alll weekend so it looks a bit better than vivaciti

Looks very similar to the vivaciti Office 45 one to me.

I can only see other FTTC products (premium?) on their web site via the link you given, not similar to ours. Unless i missed something?

We also do free install on all our FTTC products, home or business, versions, saving as least £50.

You are quite correct Martin.

However I don't see the package the poster refers to on your FTTC page.

Looks like he is confused, and I followed his lead.
