I, for one, am having a hard time finding the proper words to express the joy that I am feeling at this momentous moment!

It's quite amazing, I think... that it's taken so long to get to deployment you can actually see on the fios plant :)

I'd note I can't see the below on my homestead, but I can at a relative's (where the ifconfig data is from).

I also can't tell if the upstream will PD a block to the downstream... and the VZ CPE is 'not something I want to fiddle with',

because everytime I have tried at my house I've just taken it out behind the woodshed with a maul... and replaced it with

something I CAN configure successfully. (plus.. don't want that TR 069 in my home...)

Looks like FIOS customers may be getting ipv6 deployed toward them, finally:

ifconfig snippet from local machine:
inet6 2600:4040:2001:2200:73d2:6bcc:1e6b:43a1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>
inet6 2600:4040:2001:2200:e87:bf36:b6cb:6ce1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global>

ping attempt:

64 bytes from bh-in-f106.1e100.net (2607:f8b0:4004:c09::6a): icmp_seq=1 ttl=59 time=8.71 ms

8ms from mclean, va to ashburn, va isn't wondrous, but at least it's ipv6 (and marginally faster than ipv4)

Congrats to the 701 folk for deploying more widely!

(note: I don't know exactly when this started, nor how wide it really is, but progress here is welcomed by myself at least :) )
