Most users likely won't actually notice in the short term. You have probably been using CG-NAT for years without realising. All mobile telephone providers in the UK that I'm aware of it use it to provide Internet access on handsets when connected via 3G etc.

3's mobile broadband SIM's don't. I suspect their voice SIMs do.

plusnet seem to be weird over it the same as zen however when BT roll it out plusnet will surely follow.

Plusnet ran a first customer trial which ended in July 2012.

They've recently been running a staff only trial and last week launched a second customer trial. A few users are now running on IPv6.

dude you a bit late here, you talking about a trial I am already aware off and that started after I made that post.

but anyway the plusnet trial isnt open, not everyone that applied was accepted, and given that their first trial was over a year ago ano nothing happened for several months after its entirely possible the same could happen again, so its good plusnet have started a new trial but its a wait and see if it means anything in terms of allowing more people on to it. As it stands it does seem petty from plusnet that they accepted almost everyone and said they will be overstretching themselves to make a few more accounts.

ISP's like Zen are holding back innovation. I could understand if there was a big cost implication, but there isn't. I bet all their hardware has supported IPV6 for years. You just have to spend a bit of time training up staff, and testing it. It's just lazy.

You can tell from that statement that you're absolutely not aware of what it actually means to deploy IPv6 in a large scale network. It's a darn sight more costly, complex and involved than you're making out.

I am surprised Zen aren't a leader on this, but equally, I can understand why not.

Does it not occur to you that some people want ipv6 for development purposes?

apparently we can migrate sites to ipv6 without our own endpoint been ipv6
