India is also around 75%. Both of them cover quite a bit of humanity. The regions where growth is going to happen don't own a lot of blocks so they will focus on IPv6.
- throw0101c 2y agoVietnam (pop. 98M) has mandated moving to IPv6, with goals for migration between 2025 and 2030: * https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/14/vietnam_digital_infrastructure_policy/ https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/14/vietnam_digital_infra...
- jiggawatts 2y agoMeanwhile in Australia I called my ISP to enable IPv6 and they asked me to justify why I needed it. Because "it's the Internet" and has been a standard since the year 2000 doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to bother...
- bigstrat2003 2y agoThat is a wild response to give a customer. I'm surprised they are still in business if that's how they treat fairly reasonable customer requests.
- wmf 2y agoYeah, a normal ISP would just say "we don't have it".
- stephen_g 2y agoIf it's NBN, Aussie Broadband and Superloop/Exetel have good IPv6 support with prefix delegation giving you a /56.
- jiggawatts 2y agoI'm on Aussie Broadband, but the building is with OptiComm -- a company that decided that their business model is lock-in contracts with the apartment builders and price-gouging of customers.
- rswail 2y agoYup, I have a /56 delegated. Now if I only had something at home that needs to be world accessible...
- ClassyJacket 2y agoWhat ISP is that? Name and shame. I'm Australian and want to know to avoid them.
- jiggawatts 2y agoOptiComm You can't avoid them because they're not a retail telco, they provide wholesale/bulk services to apartment buildings with 15-year lock in contracts.
- mrweasel 2y agoSome of the larger Danish ISP has explained that they do not offer IPv6, because there's no demand. I very much doubt that they have any demand for IPv4 either, because most people don't know and don't care how the internet is delivered to them.
- cbarrick 2y ago"I'm a software developer and I need it to do my job." Even if it's not strictly true, that seems like a solid justification. Though obviously that won't work for the general public.
