> I work at an ISP and not a single customer has ever even mentioned IPv6. There zero demand on the residential side.

It is one of these things that customers who know they want it will look for an ISP that offers it. There is no point in asking one who doesn't in 2021 because they will be like "oh we will look into it", and then close your ticket.

> I am a customer, and I just filter out providers that don't have IPv6 as I assume they are incompetent.

> I wouldn't waste time asking someone to support it. It's 2021.

True. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. The ISPs that don't support it usually have huge ancient antiquated middle boxes that can't be upgraded. I wouldn't choose an ISP with old cumbersome infrastructure.



I have IPv6 only servers and I am not moving to fiber because the ISP does not offer IPv6 with it. I will move when they offer it.

Out of all the stakeholders in IPv6 migration, I blame the ISPs the most.
