Lazy ISPs. Servers won't go IPv6-only until most users have IPv6. This it's on providers to take the initiative to deploy IPv6. Some have. Some have not.
For example, approximately nobody has IPv6 in Spain. It's one of the countries furthest behind in dual-stack adoption. This is entirely the fault of Spanish ISPs.
ISPs won't be forced to deploy dual stack IPv6 until IPv6 only servers are commonplace, and IPv6 only servers won't exist until that wouldn't lose them a significant fraction of users. And thus progress is glacial.
- nerdponx 6y agoThis. I have Comcast Xfinity in the USA (local monopoly, I would use a different ISP if I could) and they just don't offer IPv6. The rep on the phone seemed surprised that I would even ask.
- mdaniel 6y agoSurely you mean static IPv6, because of the 3 different cities I've been forced to use Xfinity (even on their lowest plan Internet), I have been given IPv6 leases and I for sure didn't call anyone Or, another certainly plausible explanation is that your router either doesn't support IPv6 or it is disabled
- nerdponx 6y agoI asked when I was setting up service. I can try to enable it in my router and see if I get an IPv6 address.
