Lindsay Hill (http://lkhill.com) was trying to find out which New Zealand ISPs were offering IPv6, and couldn’t find it in one place. So he’s pulled together this data himself, into this Google Sheet, reproduced here:
https://docs.google.com/
| ISP | IPv6 | Prefix Length | Static? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bigpipe | No | N/A | N/A | |
| Compass | ? | Have asked - no response yet | ||
| Earthlight | ? | Have asked - no response yet, but believe it is supported | ||
| Inspire | Trial | /56 | Yes* | Prefix normally sticky, may change in future |
| Maxnet | No | N/A | N/A | Not supported for home connections. Available on request for co-lo systems |
| MyRepublic | No* | N/A | N/A | Not currently supported, but plan to offer by June |
| Orcon | Trial | /56 | Yes* | Prefix normally sticky, may change in future |
| Sinch | Yes | /56 | Yes* | Static allocations on request |
| Slingshot | No | N/A | N/A | |
| Snap | Yes | /48 | No | Not full production support. May be disabled occasionally. Outages will not be notified on network status page |
| Spark | No | N/A | N/A | |
| Trustpower | No | N/A | N/A | |
| Vodafone | No | N/A | N/A | |
| Vorco | Yes | /56 | Yes | Business-grade services/pricing, not residential |
| Woosh | Yes | /56 | No | |
| WorldxChange | Closed trial | /56 | Yes | "Trial" has been running for several years. Currently closed. |
This is primarily focused around residential ISPs, and the status of their IPv6 support for ‘regular’ customers. The data focusses on three things:
* Is IPv6 supported – fully or trial?
* What prefix lengths are given to customers
* Are static allocations available?”
While there are ISPs who have clearly committed to supporting IPv6 this is not the case across the board, which may suggest why Google says we’re only doing ~0.6% IPv6 traffic.
All comments and updates welcome – either add a comment to the Google Sheet, or email Lindsay(mailto:[email protected]
A pretty sad state for IPv6 here in NZ. 5 out of 16 ISPs offer IPv6 and one of them only for business services. One (WorldxChange or xnet) say yes they offer static IPv6 address but the routers you get from them are not IPv6 capable (at least their Multi-access MP264 Router “next generation, future proofed router” (www.wxc.co.nz/residential/hardware/residentialgateways/mp264/) which they provide. If you search their site for IPv6 you get “No results were found in Everything matching your query: ‘IPv6′”. I guess the only ones running IPv6 would be those who took part in their trial. How is the state of the other 4 ISPs stating they support IPv6?
The only way to use IPv6 for most users would be a teredo tunnel. It is high time for the ISPs to get their act together and offer true IPv6 connections.
Hi – it would be great if this table could be updated. Would be interesting to see the results a year later 🙂
Uber (residential and business Whangarei ISP) also supports IPv6.
