Is that distorted by cellular providers?
I know my wired ISP does not provide IPv6, even when I explicitly asked for it. They do CGNAT for most customers and assign a static IPv4 to anyone who complains (and then try to start charging for it a year later).
The ISP at my previous home was also IPv4 only (although, thankfully, no CGNAT).
- bravetraveler 3y agoProbably a bit, though I have noticed an upward trend in v6 support with ISPs. When I was using Spectrum, was pleased to find they had (barely-passable) support, SLAAC wasn't a thing IIRC. Google Fiber has done well and so did AT&T's offering
- NavinF 3y agoSLAAC doesn't delegate address space. That's why ISPs use DHCPv6. You can get a /60 from Comcast and a /48 from many other ISPs.
- nfriedly 3y agoOk, fair enough. If Spectrum and AT&T both support v6 now (edit: Comcast/Xfinity too!), then that probably does cover a good portion of the wired ISP market.
- StressedDev 3y agoComcast / Xfinity has had IPv6 for years (probably 5-10).
