Just got onto Geekzone today and saw the IPv6 logo in the corner so I investigated naturally and I do seem to be connected over IPv6 and I'm pretty sure I wasn't before. I haven't seen anything on the forum about it so I figured why not post eh. On Vodafone fibre in the North Shore.

Received a reply to my query to Vodafone:


We are offering IPv6 to most of our fixed line customers, with it available now to all of our UFB and VDSL customers, and some of our ADSL customers. IPv6 will be available on the FibreX network soon.

Customers don’t need to do anything to use IPv6 – those with an IPv6 capable router, such as our standard Huawei HG659, will receive both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address, known as ‘dual-stack’. They shouldn’t see any difference in their browsing experience – sites that can use IPv6 will (such as Facebook, Google and Netflix), other sites will remain on IPv4.
