I hope we don't have IPv6 only protocols and sites anytime soon. My cable company still is not supporting IPv6... It seems like something a major American ISP would of done by now.

  I used http://test-ipv6.com/ http://test-ipv6.com/ to run the test. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) appears to be SCRR-10796 - Time Warner Cable Internet LLC, US I'm in Ohio.

    Time Warner Cable provides IPv6: https://www.timewarnercable.com/en/support/faqs/faqs-internet/ipv6/why-don_t-i-have-ipv6-yet-.html https://www.timewarnercable.com/en/support/faqs/faqs-interne... Your issue is site-specific; most likely your modem is outdated, but your router may also be configured to not try to acquire a block of IPv6 addresses.

      Interesting. No communication from them. I figured this is the sorta thing they'd mass contact people about to update. I remember asking the installer about 3 years ago about it. He said I'd have it as soon as they turn it on at the central office... I'm not really too worried about it yet as it's not a problem really yet. I hate talking to support people. I went to the IPv6 page and it's not showing a V6 IP Address http://screencast.com/t/Xuq4VOfnS http://screencast.com/t/Xuq4VOfnS but the Dynamic page for IPv4 displays it in those text boxes(editing is disabled on them even though they look like inputs. A bit confusing UX if just looking at the image) So it appears my firmware has it... strange. This is on the modem itself, not the router as it's a all in one. Just found this: http://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/IPv6/Not-getting-IPv6-Address/td-p/113119/page/2 http://forums.timewarnercable.com/t5/IPv6/Not-getting-IPv6-A... from two months ago "I got someone from Tier 3 on the phone and he told me it was not available yet in my area." so hmm, sounds like some areas might be last to get it then.

On the contrary, having IPv6 only sites and protocols would greatly help adoption. One of the problems is that a lot of companies think that IPv4 is good enough, since there's no discernable difference to end users right now. Every IPv6 site is also accessible over IPv4, and the community is already heavily invested in engineering around the shortcomings otherwise created by NAT on IPv4. Coupled with the additional cost and security considerations that have to go into an IPv6 deployment, we've got a good recipe for encouraging both ISPs and corporate providers to stay on IPv4 for as long as possible. (If we're unlucky, we might even see ISPs roll out carrier grade NAT instead of upgrading.)
