Except Charter/Spectrum in the US.

> IPv6 is available today with an IPv6 capable modem in the majority of Spectrum’s footprint.

Very curious what "majority of Spectrum’s footprint" means in this context.


Maybe it's because we're in the former Time Warner Cable/Road Runner part of Spectrum's territory, but we've had IPv6 for years now.


Sure, as long as you're ok with having a constantly changing prefix. At least that's how it is for home connections and it nullifies nearly all the benefits of v6.


You don't need a fixed prefix to get most of the benefits of v6.

DNS is a thing.


I can do dynamic DNS on v4 too.

It also complicates firewalls, because now they need to deal with the prefix switching on them and updating their rules to match. As I recall this was only recently added to pfSense.


I'm in original Charter territory and have v6


Telia in Finland refuses to enable IPv6 for mobile. I'm sure there's no lack of providers doing the same.


I'm on Spectrum (via TW acquisition) and have had IPv6 for around a decade, if not longer.


I have it on Spectrum in Ohio. It may vary by market.
