Kudos to Rogers Wireless on IPv6 deployment
So frequently on this list we hear people asking/begging their providers for IPv6 roadmaps or chastising them for the lack of same, that I thought it might be nice to actually give props to a provider actually moving the needle. I was pleasantly surprised today to notice an IPv6 address on my Android smartphone on the Rogers Wireless LTE network. I had to do a double-take and poke through test-ipv6.com to make sure something wasn't amiss, but there it was: honest-to-$deity dual stack service on a Canadian mobile provider, with a dual-stack resolver and everything! ;) So, kudos, Rogers Wireless! So that's Rogers on the wireless side (with Telus Mobility at last check being in early stages but not yet fully rolled out), and basically Rogers, Telus and a bunch of smaller or regional ISPs that have deployed IPv6 on residential and/or business wired service. Shaw? Bell? (FYI Bell, your IPv6 Starter Kit linked from http://ipv6.bell.ca/ currently hits a 404. -- Hugo Slabbert | email, xmpp/jabber: hugo@slabnet.com pgp key: B178313E | also on Signal

http://labs.apnic.net/cgi-bin/ccpagev6?c=CA Sort on "samples". Seems Telus and Rogers are the only top10 with any double digit % IPv6 users. Telus is at 65-70%, that's a really good number. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
I'm also seeing IPv6 on Rogers 4g/LTE on an Android in Winnipeg! Looks like I'm part of 2605:8d80:400::/38 Theodore Baschak - AS395089 - Hextet Systems https://ciscodude.net/ - https://hextet.systems/ http://mbix.ca/
