Me disabling my IPv6 tunnel wasn't related to this, it was extremely unstable; it dropped at-least once a week which was quite disruptive. If anyone can recommend a tunnel provider other than SixXS, I'll participate on the 6th. Pardon my french, but in 2014 there should be no fucking need for you to tunnel. While IPv6-day in 2013 was about showing how IPv6 isn't "scary" and that enabling it wont cause havoc around the internets, like lots of site-admins irrationally feared, I think the main point this year is highlighting and shaming ISP which still haven't gotten their act together. If you need to tunnel to "participate" in this years event, your ISP is the target. Go ask for native IPv6. Edit: Other people in this thread seem to say otherwise. Anyway: How can you disable IPv4 when your tunnelled IPv6-connection relies on it?

Sadly my broadband provider, Telia, is one of those nice old telecom companies who're still living in the stone age. Can't switch over to anything else either as my lessor has a monopoly agreement with them. 1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_deployment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_deployment

My ISP (BT) has a full IPv6 implementation but it's not targeted at home users right now. I'll try contacting their customer support to ask about rollout plans but frankly, I don't think I'll get anywhere. Personally, I think the point of IPv6 day was to provide people with something to access over IPv6. I got a tunnel after IPv6 day but I think I only used it on Google. How can you disable IPv4 when your tunnelled IPv6-connection relies on it? For me I was able to disable IPv4 as my router did the tunnelling for me, however I feel this article is primarily targeting those with native IPv6.
