What I'd like to see is some companies, such as Bell, get off their butts and provide IPv6. By sticking with IPv4, they are holding the Internet back, through inadequate address space. Even on LTE, where IPv6 is mandatory, Bell doesn't do it properly.
I'm on Rogers and have had full IPv6 for years, both Internet and cell phone. On my home firewall, I get a /56 prefix, which provides 2^72 addresses, or 256 /64 prefixes. My cell phone also has full IPv6 and can provide it to tethered devices in a /64 prefix. In fact, to access IPv4 sites, my phone has to use 464XLAT to convert from IPv6 to IPv4.
How stable is the IPv6 address block you get from Rogers? I know in the past their IPv4 addresses rarely changed. I figure I ought to start figuring out what's involved with Rogers setup these days given that's what I will end up with next September when I move to a new house. I am pretty sure a new development won't have any copper phone or cable connections, just fiber, and rogers service is included in the price of the house for the first year, so I figure I might as well use it. And I suppose I will have to figure out how one runs a router and APs on top of whatever device rogers uses to connect to their network. -- Len Sorensen
