ISP's and IPv6

[RogueRunner]

When are they going to start giving us IPv6? Axxess I know do not support it yet and I suspect the majority of others also.

Mybroadband does! Posting this via v6 (from work)

The problem is Telkom's ADSL network doesn't support IPv6 natively.... I'm doing IPv6 from home with a IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel to Hurricane Electric.

The problem today: OVH is being hit with a IPv4 shortage at RIPE... wish the AfriNIC & APNIC IPs would be dished to ARIN so that the IPv4 ranges are depleted and ISPs forced to demand IPv6 from Telkom's ADSL

The issue with tunnels is, it adds latency. Latent isn't that bad, but it is annoying. HE.net is the best tunnel provider however.

Whats the benefit of IPv6 other than more available addresses?

Little bit too technical for me, suffice to say it looks like there are a lot of benefits

The one obvious "benefit" is a static IP address... which, means now its even easier for the NSA to find you

Correct!!

But without the users (amass) demanding IPv6, the xDSL providers aren't going to request/demand it from Telkom... and Telkom not going to look at providing it...

It's a money issue, and the "managed" IPv4 issueing, makes it a tad of a money spinner for some, and it just delays the needs to get IPv6 deployed, as it doesn't hit Telkom's pocket yet..

Thus: Before it doesn't have a noticeable effect on the ISPs/Telkom's pockets, they aren't going to deploy IPv6

Openserve... not Telkom.

Well... looking at http://www.fin24.com/Tech/Companies/Telkom-spins-off-new-Openserve-division-20151013

and the bottom of Openserve's website: "© Telkom SA SOC Limited 2017"

It's still the same... just a different jacket... to try and rid themselves of the Telkom stigma??

No, to comply with court rulings to separate their wholesale and retail businesses.

A bit of both tbh.

Openserve would need to have there NAS/BRAS compliance ipv6 capable, and in the end the IP space would sit with the transit ISP.
