I can't use IPv6 as my ISP (Gigaclear) has an issue where the ISP side routers crash if you enable it.
When doing network troubleshooting they will try and get you to factory reset the home router they gave you, which enables IPv6 and bricks their end and has to get escalated.
But they provide fibre to the premises and aren't supporting BT, so it's not all bad.

Hopefully after you have destroyed all of their routers, they will eventually buy new ones that are actually compatible with IPv6 so just keep doing it. /s
- happymellon 2y agoI assume its just crashed and they have to reset it. But it requires an engineer visit to talk to their NOC so I can be without internet for a couple of days. Sucks.
- executesorder66 2y agoSo they aren't bricked then?
- jonathantf2 2y agoI use my own router on Gigaclear, no V6 and no sign of them supporting it. At least it's not CGNAT.
- happymellon 2y agoSame, I use my own router. I was CGNAT at first, but their implementation breaks consoles as well, so you can complain about your XBox not working and they give you a static IP.
