Was it ever common to use 11/8 internally? Did people just roll dice because it wasn't being announced? The reference in the post is the first I've heard of people possibly using it.
I'm baffled too. This is why there is an RFC 1918 so everyone knows what's public and private.

I work at an ISP and not a single customer has ever even mentioned IPv6. There zero demand on the residential side.
I worked at an (residential) ISP and not a single customer has ever asked about IPv4 or IPv9 or any IPvX. They were buying 'Internet' or even 'Wi-Fi'. Now, on on the DSL reports there are plenty of questions 'When will ISP_X will support IPV6'
I wouldn't waste time asking someone to support it. It's 2021.
Opened this from RSS feed, because I thought AS8003 is a name of a star or a galaxy.

You get plenty of requests for the static part of it and less so for actual ipv4. If there was an option for static ipv6 then people would also request that instead. Static IPs have use cases that people in the wild need, however I don’t think anyone cares if it’s ipv4 or ipv6.
I mean, I'd love static both, but I'm going to ask for static v4 first, because I can always run a tunnel for static v6.

I’ve begged my isp to get on it
I just got a /32 from ARIN to start implementing it on our network but it is by no stretch of the imagination worth the effort. I will probably have at least 40 hours into testing it and no increased revenue will be realized by it. Maybe IPv6 was the the right thing to due but the practical implementation is ridiculous.

Why is IPv6 not a popular idea here?
IMO, it is frequently seen as a solution in search of a problem, that breaks things and makes things harder when used to no real benefit. Whether any of that is accurate is left as an exercise for the reader.

I am a customer, and I just filter out providers that don't have IPv6 as I assume they are incompetent. I wouldn't waste time asking someone to support it. It's 2021.
It is one of these things that customers who know they want it will look for an ISP that offers it. There is no point in asking one who doesn't in 2021 because they will be like "oh we will look into it", and then close your ticket.

True. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. The ISPs that don't support it usually have huge ancient antiquated middle boxes that can't be upgraded. I wouldn't choose an ISP with old cumbersome infrastructure.

I mean... yes. And then there's the real world where your parent company has bought a dozen small companies over the years who have things spread across all of the 1918 ranges and you're setting up VPNs and static NAT and RIP and IS-IS paths and... you just do something easier. It's not a _good_ idea, but it's definitely a thing that happens (fortunately, for me at least, it's been a good long time since I've had to…
