The problem is conversations like this: AT&T Customer Service: "AT&T uVerse, how can I help you?" Customer: "Yes, I have uVerse service and I'd like to get IPv6." AT&T Customer Service: "I pea vee what? Is this a prank call?" Owen On Feb 9, 2011, at 10:10 PM, Frank Bulk wrote:
I'm not sure what you mean -- once the ISP identifies CPE that works on their network, couldn't early adopters who are interested in the technology be pointed to a short list?

All this talk about CPE is wasted until folks like ATT have someone on the retail interface (store, phone, or, web) who even knows what is this "IPv6" thing. Exploring this issue with DSL providers and Uverse is like that old exercise with combat boots. It feels much better when I stop.
