My ISP doesn’t support IPv6 either. I get 0/10 on WiFi vs. 10/10 on mobile using Test Your IPv6. [1] [1]: https://test-ipv6.com/ https://test-ipv6.com/ I’ve considered emailing to ask them to support it but haven’t come up with a persuasive reason for why they should.

Find out what your ASN is (e.g. https://www.ultratools.com/tools/asnInfo https://www.ultratools.com/tools/asnInfo) and then look it up on peering dB: https://www.peeringdb.com/ https://www.peeringdb.com/ It'll give you an idea if your ISP is advertising IPv6 routing on their network if they have some prefixes. So whether it's something they're working on or not.

  Thanks! Didn’t know I could look this up. Looks like my ISP has no IPv6 prefixes so far.

> but haven’t come up with a persuasive reason for why they should. I don't know about you, but whenever I see an ISP, hosting provider, or website that supports IPv6 I think: These guys know what they are doing, they care about quality, and they actually plan for the future. I'd much rather do business with someone that supports IPv6 because of the above impression. If I was running my own business that provided network related products or services I'd make IPv6 support required because I don't want to seem like I'm incompetent/lazy/ignorant. So in short the persuasive reason is that it would improve their reputation. Technical people notice these things and base their recommendations on these sorts of impressions.

  This was one factor when I chose my current ISP, they have provided IPv6 for a long time.

I have gigabit fiber through AT&T. So do my parents 30 miles away. I get a 0/10 from the test-ipv6.com site I logged into my parents network and they get a 10/10 As I said we live 30 miles away and we both got fiber 2 years ago.
