Wait. Germany's over 11% - I'm probably counted as one of them.
My anecdote: I'm getting a DS-Lite connection here, that's forced on new customers for this (big) ISP. For month the (mandatory) hardware froze whenever the prefix changed or was reannounced. Basically a (silent) dead connection every 2-3 days, for a looong time. Known problem, nothing that can be done about. But .. that's the past and solved.
Currently? I cannot reach ipv6 addresses. Read that again: DS-Lite, cannot reach any ipv6 addresses while my ipv4 traffic (which .. is tunneled) works fine. I tested with quite some sites, mostly with ipv6.google.com.
Customer support says "They're out of capacity" and want to give me a normal/default ipv4 connection again, they claim that they won't even look into this problem at this point. "Won't Fix", basically.
So I do wonder what these 11% mean and if I'm really just an outlier - or if more people like me exist and maybe don't even KNOW that they are supposed to be able to use ipv6 and cannot?
- ay 12y agoNo, only the live connections are counted - it's based on what address family content providers see in incoming connections. So you are in the remaining 89% for now... Try http://testipv6.com/helpdesk http://testipv6.com/helpdesk and mail me the result URL ? EDIT: just realized we did talk some 249 days ago. Did you stay on the same ISP and DS-lite, and have an IPv6 prefix that does not allow you to ping6 towards ipv6.google.com ? Time permitting I'll be happy to help debug this. Let's coordinate over email if you are interested, and the above assumption about your network setup is correct.
