Hi,
My Fritzbox supports IPv6.
Does Freeola support native IPv6? If so (@Eccles), how would I configure the Fritzbox?
Thanks,
Neil

Yes, but I believe you need an IPv6 address allocation first.
Once that's ready then you can configure your router.
Eccles will have the details :¬)
I think you might be the only FTTC customer that posts here - how did your move go? What sort of outage did you have between switching from ADSL to VDSL and what package did you go for?

My move was smooth.
BT came over, installed the 'default' kit, then came to the end of my street with me to re-wire my circuit in the cabinet.
I've got full speed with the 80/20 package.

That sounds good :¬)
Self-installs are rolling out so I wondered how things worked.
I'm about 600m away from my cabinet (not live yet) so will be opting for a 40/? package, as at that distance in theory it's only capable of around 35.
@Freeola are you able to publish prices/packages soon?!

@Neilj99 - Drop us a support ticket if you haven't done so already and ask for an IPv6 allocation.
Login to your router and under Internet > Account Information go to the IPv6 tab.
Check IPv6 support enabled
Always use a native IPv6 connection
Under the Connection Settings section:
Check Use static settings and then more options show.
In these options:
Set the LAN Prefix to the IPv6 prefix supplied, for example 2001:4d48:ad51:3500:: and /56
Set the WAN prefix to manual and the prefix part of the Network IPv6 address supplied.
I also set 'WAN interface ID' to auto.
I also set my IPv6 DNS to 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2620:0:ccc::2

Will do.
Many thanks.

@Eccles
I had a telecon with your colleague today and he suggested it may not be the best idea to convert as there maybe issues which you would be unable to support. He also said that some websites may not be accessible over IPv6, and that I may not be able to convert back.
I'm not sure if I should request one now.
Would I really benefit from one?

I ran that earlier.
My stats are 0/10. But that's because my router hasn't been configured for IPv6 I should imagine.

That's sounds a bit strange?!?
I'm pretty sure an IPv6 connection can display all IPv4 websites.
At some point IPv4 connections will fail to display websites as IP addresses run out.
There are lots of people already running IPv6 successfully.
There's lots to read(Google) about IPv6...
Here's Entanet's IPv6 explained as a starting point - they seem to be on the case which is good - some providers are behind.
But everything has a learning curve so perhaps it's not always best to dive in first!
