I once asked them if we could enable IPv6 on a 1Gb DIA circuit, and the response I got back was that "we can convert the circuit to IPv6, but you'll need to give up your IPv4."
I don't think I bothered asking them again!!
(Edit "them" = Virgin Media)
- inigyou 3mo agoSure they didn't just mean they'd change your static IPv4 address to a different one?
- gertrunde 3mo agoQuite possibly. But the way that they dealt with the whole thing smelt very "we don't know what we're talking about", enough to put us off. And shifting all the IP space about would have had costs with very little return, so little business appetite to go through it.
- topranks 3mo agoWas that real DIA?? I’ve seen this commonly from them with residential service. They mostly give you a private v4 address behind CGNAT in addition to IPv6. If you want a public v4 they put you on their old network which has no v6.
