Does your ISP support IPv6?
Boosts welcome.
@toroidalcore My modem was damaged by lightning and my ISP replaced it. With the new modem, I got IPv6 connectivity. However I couldn't make connections from outside, adding IPv4 port forwards or IPv6 firewall exceptions to the modem config didn't do anything.
A week later, IPv6 connectivity disappeared. And now IPv4 port forwarding works.

@toroidalcore just Ethernet coming to the utility panel, plug in and DHCP to get your address (and 6rd details)
oh and up to 5 public IPv4 addresses per customer apparently x)
@littlefox I definitely envy that, especially the extra public IPS, although I don't know what I do with more than gigabit.
I have an order in with a fiber ISP that's finally building out to my area, planning on getting the 500 mb symmetrical package. No public IPv4, but at least they give out a /60 prefix for IPv6. Right now with cable I have gigabit down and 40 mb up, a /60, and one public IPv4.

@BestGirlGrace What's your setup, are you tunneling it from somewhere?

@nicolas17 Sounds like it might have been a misconfiguration or something. Like maybe they gave out a new modem, but didn't update the config it's supposed to retrieve.

@BestGirlGrace So you have a whole AS going? That's badass.

@toroidalcore it would have been interesting to have an “I don’t know” answer perhaps.

@toroidalcore naming and shaming. CenturyLink does not.

@toroidalcore yes! they are very confusing to me

@BestGirlGrace I'd like to give it a try someday, but too many other projects at the moment.

@maurice Fair enough. In making the pole I was thinking of people who'd checked if they'd had it or not.

@toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town Ehhhh, it's not quite a yes or no for mine.
If you're billed as a residential account, flat out NO. If you're billed as a business account, you can get it if you go out of your way to ask for it.
Fucking pathetic, imo. -

Fucking pathetic, imo.@toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town The only real saving grace is that I get two public IPv4 addresses, so I can at least run a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel, which I've done.

@theraspb @toroidalcore yes and yes, but it randomly stops working every once in a while until i restart the DHCPv6 client on the router because sometimes the ISP CPE decides to stop routing my static delegated /56 until I create a new DHCPv6 session (renewing the lease doesn't fix it).
Also cursed: if the DHCPv4 server on the CPE is turned off (even though I don't use DHCPv4 since i have a static /32) it'll hand out a delegated prefix but not update the routing table on the CPE so the delegated prefix won't route.
And you can't ask it to delegate the /56. That would be way too logical. You have to make a separate PD request for each /60 in the /56

Oof. That's an option on Spectrum, though I haven't bothered with it.
Have that gotten high-split for you yet? Spectrum's planning on it supposedly, and they plan to offer 1 gig symmetrical.

@maddy I'm honestly surprised when I hear about people getting more than one public IPv4 address without asking for it, or getting business class. It feels like getting a public IPv4 at all is rare unless you're on a bigger ISP who had a bunch of them already.

@toroidalcore @theraspb I'm told that some upgrades on the docsis side are coming, which will enable 1G symmetric (I'm on 500 down / 35 up IIRC at the moment).
They've been saying that for something like the past two or three years. I'm not holding my breath.
But last time I quoted for fiber they would have had to directional-drill the entire length of my street at an estimated cost of around $80K. So that's not an option yet.
There's new apartments being built the next street over though, fingers crossed they run a fiber to that building and maybe I can get an install for <$50K at some point

@toroidalcore@masto.hackers.town In my case, I'm with a local-ish ISP who bought up a massive block of IPv4 early on, and has used that to their benefit, avoiding furthering IPv6 adoption as long as they can help it. >.>
But at least everyone gets a public IPv4 or two - none of their wired residential customers have to deal with CGNAT. -

Spectrum's been talking about the upgrade for years, supposedly it's coming in the summer to my area, but per Reddit people are getting it, so that's something.
That said, there's a local(ish, same state) company building out fiber who's finally starting to build out in my neighborhood and is taking orders. I'm planning on switching, even though they do IPv4 CGNAT. I get a /60 for v6 at least.
