I have the "4GLTE" LG VL600 usb modem from Verizon on a consumer data-only $50/month plan and it gives my Windows 7 laptop a v6 address on both 3G and "4G" connections. I noticed it recently when I was logged into the ARIN website since their site puts a banner across the top when you're accessing via ipv6; then I tried other sites to confirm it was working. David

Not only does Verizon *not* have IPv6 on their LTE network, they also do *not* have IPv4, except for double-NATed rfc1918 crap that changes your IP address every couple minutes. The only way to get a stable connection is to pay them $500 to get a static public IP address.

IPV6 is present, to my knowledge, on all devices on the Verizon IPV6 LTE network. I noticed its using it to communicate to Google for many of it's services when I ran a netstat. I believe they mandated support for it from any certified device.
Unfortunately, it's still firewalled.

Hi NANOG,
I'm looking for some information on the four largest US mobile phone carriers and the current state of their IPv6 infrastructure. Specifically, we are trying to figure out:
1. How much of the carrier core and edge for AT&T, Verizon. T-Mobile, and Sprint are on IPv6 now?
Hi,
T-Mobile USA has native ipv6 to all subscribers in all of it's coverage area. But, less than 1% of subscribers use IPv6 because they do not have an IPv6 capable phone. The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus work well.
This device challenge will improve in time. Samsung is doing a good job of bringing IPv6 to Android devices. More info here
That's interesting. I have a Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile USA and it doesn't get an IPv6 address, only IPv4. Works fine with IPv6 over my wireless network at home. Doesn't seem to be anything obvious in the settings to enable or disable that.
