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.

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.

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.

I visited the site this weekend, enabled but nothing. Perhaps it did briefly go live, or a glitch in the unifi software.
