Time Warner does exactly this in my area (and I suspect it's fairly widespread).
The issue is, the modems they hand out to many of their users are not DOCSIS 3 (unless the user is paying for a plan that requires DOCSIS 3 speeds).
If you bring your own IPv6 capable modem, or sign up for one of their higher speed plans, you'll get IPv6.
- sterwill 11y agoI'm a Time Warner customer in North Carolina and have IPv6 service. It works well, but the IPv6 networks aren't statically assigned, so I can't reach my devices at home reliably.
- simoncion 11y agoDoes TW use DHCPv6-PD to allocate networks to customer sites? If it does, are you sure that your router is presenting the same DUID to TW's DHCPv6 servers? IME, as long as you present the same DUID to Comcast's DHCPv6 servers, and your equipment renews its DHCP lease before the expiry time, you retain the same IPv6 prefix. Hope this helps. :)
- theandrewbailey 11y agoI upgraded my parent's modem 1-2 years ago, soon after they implemented their bs modem rental fee. It seemed like TW was pushing DOCSIS 3 modems pretty hard. Every time I visit and check my Gmail, I see IPv6 addresses in the activity log. I'm kind of jealous, since my FIOS connection doesn't have IPv6.
- voltagex_ 11y agoWith FIOS, you might have low enough latency to one of Hurricane Electric's tunnels to use that where you need a v6 address.
- theandrewbailey 11y agoFortunately, I've never come across a situation where I had to have v6.
