Hi all,

We are still working on an IPV6 offering but at the moment we don't have a release date. I'm sorry i wasn't able to offer anything more concrete at this time.

it is a no then

it was a no in 2012
it was a no in 2011
it was a no in 2010
it was a no in 2009
it was a no in 2008
etc....

it is still a no.

some companies are doing this and some not. make your choice

Yes, that's called recursion. No?

Latest from Zen:
There are no plans in the near-term to provide IPv6 support for customers on our Broadband services.

zen arent doing themselves any favours with these statements, they dont even feel the need to give a reason why they avoiding ipv6.

even BT retail have announced ipv6.

Turn it on its head... why do you need IPv6?

Let's face it... 99%+ (?) of their customers have absolutely no need for it at the moment... therefore they aren't going to start replacing expensive networking equipment possibly costing hundreds of thousands of pounds just for the sake of a few users.

As soon as their big business customers (who use broadband... I presume Zen will offer IPv6 on their leased lines etc) have a requirement though they will soon change their tune. Hopefully for their sake they won't be caught off guard.

everyone needs ipv6 for the sake of the future of the internet, ipv6 applications will popup "after" lots of it is rolled out.

if zen have a good valid reason to put ipv6 aside I just want to hear it thats all, not just "its not planned".

BT announced sometime in 2013 which I think they will fail to meet given only a few weeks are left but there is ipv6 sections now on the homehub 5 firmware so they are clearly working on it.
aaisp a big competitior (I would think to zen) offer ipv6.
plusnet seem to be weird over it the same as zen however when BT roll it out plusnet will surely follow.

I suspect zen simply have ample ipv4 supply vs number of customers and as such consider it a waste of resources, but maybe I am wrong?

IDNet have had it for a couple of years. They give you a v6 address block and let you get on with it. It isn't officially supported, but is there for testing purposes. Having said that, they will help as much as they can.

IDNet IPv6 works very well though I did have an issue with not being able to set rDNS on IPv6. This was something to do with RIPE and the IDNet address block, but it has now been satisfactorily resolved. If IDNet and AAISP can do it why can't/won't Zen?
