I wish my fiber ISP was part of that 50%. But nope, here I am behind a CGNAT and was promised IPv6 adoption about a year ago. Unfortunately the only other options in my area (downtown Milwaukee) are some form of wireless, DSL, or Spectrum.

Don't get me wrong, even though my speeds are only about 50% of spec (gigabit symmetric), the upload speed alone is a reason to avoid any other provider. I'm also paying about $25/m less than the equivalent download on Spectrum.

Shit Italy adoption sucks, that's so curious like I am 34 years old now but I think I've used IPv6 since I was like 13-14 years old, with tunnels like sixxs and before that there was also another one I forgot the name of, now my italian provider (fastweb fiber) supports it natively, but yeah just wondering now, we sometimes say that tech world changes fast, but can you imagine like how long things like ipv6 have been around, and still haven't had much of an impact from a practical point of view? Like I have a book of abount 150 pages that talks about IPv6, can you imagine that like every year I have to read it again because I just can't seem to retain the knowledge? Not just if it is just like something like XML too focused on machine and not very human friendly, or if it is like unmnemonic, or that you don't get in contact with it ever.. it's so curious for me

Before everyone laments their ISP is part of the slow half remember the majority of this migration is still driven by the switch to users browsing on mobile device networks rather than a traditional desktop on a hardline. E.g. T-Mobile is IPv6 only for a number of years now, using 464XLAT to let customers access IPv4 only services.

Also I'll throw in the standard "HN is still v4 only" :).

So my italian ISP, gives me FTTH, 1gb/s down , 300mb/s up but has 10/10 for ipv6 https://i.imgur.com/lhz4RJy.png

I would rather have 700mb/s more for upload than ipv6 to be honest (only thing I also have public/static ipv4, so maybe that I wouldn't give up ^^)

About 5 years ago, I asked the owner of my fixed wireless ISP if he was planning to support IPv6 and I received a 500 word email rant about the uselessness of v6. I haven't asked again. (I still get a 0/10 score at https://test-ipv6.com/ )

There is a lot of cultural inertia that instantly biases against anything new in sysadmin/netadmin circles.

It's super annoying, tbh. A subset of technologists only seem comfortable with the technology that was available when they were 18-24, regardless of how old they get.

"What's this? I never needed it before, what's the sysctl to turn it off?"
