I have a notification in UniFi advising IPv6 is available on WAN1 connected to Spark. Its a remote site so I am not enabling.

 

Can't find any reference anywhere, have they started rolling it out?

I know former colleagues are testing IPv6 on their home connections, I'm not sure if the new BNGs are a requirement for IPv6 for residential services.

 

I suspect we'll see it this year though.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Spark does not currently support IPv6 for Residential Broadband.

 

Unfortunately at this time I do not have anything to share on if or when it might become available in the future.




My views are my own, and may not necessarily represent those of my employer.

One of my mobiles on Spark back in March received an IPv6 address (2403:9800:3037:ed9:0:13:7813:ab01/64), so they must at least be testing it.

Funny enough, I've just had it pop up on my UDR7 - I tried enabling IPv6, it rebooted but no IPv6 address handed out. I guess we'll find out some time in the future if or when IPv6 is made available.
