>There's something they have to change to turn on IPv6 for your area, whether it's swapping a CMTS or updating an IPAM database or whatever, and that change costs both time and money so Spectrum is gradually rolling it out across the network. That's a plausible hypothesis. Another one is that Spectrum likes the revenue it can generate from the scarcity of IPv4 addresses, especially with a captive market who can't (for the same reasons I mentioned WRT IPv6[0]) get their own IPv4 allocation. Renting out a few million static IP addresses at $5 a pop is pure profit. But you may well be right. But from my perspective it's a distinction without a difference.
