What kind of existing connectivity do you have? Who provides your local loop? Verizon provides ipv6 connectivity according to their website. At&t most likely does as well.

I mentioned this on another list, but if anybody has tried to actually turn the words referred to above into service, I would be very happy to hear about how they did it.

The last time I attempted to buy 7018 transit I specified that I needed v6, and the answer was "yes, we can do that". But when it came to placing an order, the reaction swiftly changed to "oh, no, actually we can't". There seems to be a certain trend towards claiming IPv6 capability in order to win business, hoping that people are just looking for the check in the box and not actual exchange of packets. Joe

No comment on either Verizon or AT&T since we don't buy transit from them. However, we *do* buy transit from Global Crossing, and have had IPv6 (native, non tunneled) transit from them since at least 2004. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no

Similarly, we have had no problems with ordering v6 transit from NTT America, Global Crossing or Teleglobe in North America (also, Tiscali in Europe, and FLAG in Asia). In each case v6 transit was treated as a routine provisioning exercise, with no need for escalation to obscure greybeards. Joe

If Verizon = AS701/702/703 (VerizonBusiness/UUnet/MCI) then you should be able to just call your sales person and ask for it.. We can do native in several locations, and if native isn't available in your location, we can set you up w/ a tunnel and move you over to native when it becomes available. **Any current Verizon Business (fUUnet/MCI) customer can call and ask for IPv6 connectivity. There is no additional charge for turning up IPv6 on your existing connection** If Verizon = AS19262 you'll have to wait a bit longer.. <snip that stuff about ATT>

Does that also include connections through resellers? In our case, that's WBS Connect. I asked them about this last year and was told that their contact at Verizon Business had told them IPv6 wasn't available. Has that changed? Antonio Querubin whois: AQ7-ARIN

Yes, it includes connections through resellers. Your reseller, in this case, WBS, has to request it and sign the consent form on your behalf. There is no technical limitation to providing the service. --Heather -- ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Heather Schiller Customer Security IP Address Management 1.800.900.0241 ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It seems that in North America many providers are spouting v6, but it's transit or tunneled, not native internet service. I've had native v6 internet service from NTT/Verio since 2004. Been great so far... Andrew

My queue to spam: = Where can I get native IPv6 / Which ISP's provide IPv6? http://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=native and: = Where can I get native IPv6 transit? http://www.sixxs.net/faq/connectivity/?faq=ipv6transit and of course: = GRH http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ so that you can see who is at least announcing a prefix into BGP.
