That's a shame, Easy. The less these companies drag their feet the better.

My ISP, www.aaisp.net.uk has this fully implemented and I can have an IPv6 address if I want.

yea, not sure why they are dragging their feet. i wonder if comcast or any of the larger ISPs in the US are ready.

Looking on their website might tell you (it does mine) but I wouldn't consider it gospel.

ahhh now i see. NEW YORK – June 7, 2011 –

Today Verizon helps the industry mark an important Internet milestone by participating in the World IPv6 Day.

People around the world have been eagerly waiting to try the new Internet addressing system, which is called Internet Protocol version 6, or IPv6. Verizon is expecting that many users will take advantage of the Internet Society's (ISOC) World IPv6 Day "test flight," which begins today at 8 p.m. ET (0000 Universal Coordinated Time). The company has made preparations to handle the increased traffic and to answer customers' questions.

edit: doesnt work for me.

During the 24-hour test period, users with IPv6 connectivity to the Internet will be able to connect to two IPv6-enabled Verizon websites, http://ipv6.verizonbusiness.com and http://wwwv6.verizon.com/fiostvv6/web/. Users also can connect to the ISOC test site at http://test-ipv6.com/ to test their IPv6 hardware, software and operating systems.

can anyone see those ipv6 test sites?

Here's one for you, Easy.

TODAY IS THE DAY that the internet community has to stop running away from IPv6, with some of the largest websites and content distribution networks switching over to IPv6 for 24 hours.

IPv6 day is an initiative sponsored by outfits such as Akamai, Bing, Facebook, Google, Limelight Networks, Yahoo and many others to push IPv6 into the view of their customers. It's been a long time coming, and one of the firms involved, Verisign, claims that companies have to do much more than just ask their local regional internet registry (RIR) for a set of IPv6 addresses.

Verisign, known primarily as the registry that handles the .com and .net top-level domains, also works with its clientele in the areas of network security and high availability services. It told The INQUIRER that since hearing of IANA's final allocation of IPv4 addresses to RIRs, its customers have shown more interest in IPv6.
