I was dealing with this the other day. Spectrum was giving me IPv6 - annoying when developing an IPv4 service. Ended up switching router to one that only support IPv4 and it reverted back to IPv4. If I plug my MacBook directly into the modem, get ipv6.

It seems you're running a "service" on a customer line? That's not exactly what they're selling them for... (Though I agree there should be no such distinction, in a real P2P internet)

  Spectrum also sells business internet service, where you can have static IPs, speak to real engineers, etc.

      >I'm hoping/assuming/guessing those won't have that odd IPv4/IPv6 switching behaviour... As a Spectrum Business customer, I wish I could tell you whether or not that was true, but IPv6 isn't available to me at all. I'd happily (okay, not happily, but I'd be willing to do so) pay for an IPv6 block (I currently pay for five static IPv4 addresses -- one of which is eaten by Spectrum's required router, the other eaten by my own router, but that's a different discussion..Grrr!), but I can't even do that -- as it's not even on offer here (NYC). It seems that there's wide disparity in how/where Spectrum implements its IPv6, so YMMV.
