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."

The ATT cellular folks respond... ATT: "ATT Wireless. My name is ____ and I'm here to help" User: "My iPhone web browser can't reach sites like ipv6.google.com via your cellular network but it can over my wifi at home." ATT: "So you are having problems with your uVerse wireless connection?" ... after escalating to L2 support.... ATT: "So we will start be reseting your iPhone and then configure it for data access...." ...after 45 minutes... ATT: "Are you sure the website is valid? Let me check that website on my desktop here."... "Well, thats the problem! http://ipv6.google.com/ doesn't exist. I can't get to it via my desktop here at support. You need to use www instead of ipv6 and everything will be fine. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"
