Vumatel + IPv6

[cobusv]

Anyone knows what happening at Vuma in terms of allowing ISPs to fully deploy ipv6 across both networks (AE + GPON)

They seem very slow to this party, even Openserve now support is on IPC.

I could be wrong but i think the delay is with VX fibre trying to make it available, since vumatel partnered with them to deploy their AE network. Anyhow, if Ipv6 is that imperative then you could request a 6to4 or 6in4 tunnel from one of the big ISPs.

Ipv6 is already deployed and supported on their GPON networks so, depending on your ISP, you'd just have to enable it on your router.

Hi. I believe Vumatel are busy testing IPv6 over their AE network in the JHB area - this involves router software upgrades and some hardware replacements. No news about other areas yet.

Yeah the last most accurate info I read is on https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/vumatel-fibre-isp-for-ipv6.907957/page-3#post-30866787

Really excited about this.

Vuma Reach on Afrihost has ipv6. From last year June/July I believe

@AfriNatic can confirm

That is true, but the Vuma Active Ethernet Network still has no ability to run IPv6.
