Meanwhile in Italy basically nobody (except Sky and Iliad) offers any support for IPv6.
TIM had a very poorly functioning technical trial of native IPv6 12 years ago, and while it still exists (and sucks) it only works on ADSL (not VDSL, 20Mbps ADSL).
I guess that carriers have just too many IPv4 to throw around, mobile connections are all NATted with no sign of any future roll-out of IPv6 in sight.
- sharikous 4y agoIt goes up fast when it starts. In Israel it was like that 4 years ago and now it's green on the map.
- qalmakka 4y agoI kinda doubt it. Only new ISPs are rolling out IPv6 ATM, because they know they will not be able in the future to get enough IPv4 to satisfy demand. Everyone else is sitting on a crapload of IPv4 and will never bother to implement IPv6 until it is mandated by either the Italian government or the EU, whichever comes first.
- jeroenhd 4y agoIf your ISP doesn't disable ICMP you can get yourself an IPv6 network for free using something like HE's tunnelbroker. This has the tendency to break Netflix/Disney Plus/whatever, though, because they see it as an attempt to change your location. I use Tunnelbroker to provision IPv6 to some services I run on a VPS provider that hands out a /128 for some obscure reason. It works great if you can configure the tunnel in your router. The biggest difficulty for home use is to set up DNS in such a way that streaming services don't resolve over IPv6 so you don't get blocked (or, as I did for a while, to just pirate content when they refuse access to the services I pay for; my Jellyfin + *arr setup is often easier to manage than finding the right service to watch my shows on).
