Not here, it is not related to IPv6, so off-topic. If you wish to discuss this
any further meet me in FN_SYSOP.

Indeed. FTH is booming and the competition is fierce. Several competing
companies ae rolling it out like a flood. Planting their flag in as many
households in as short a time as possible is their first priority. All to be
ahead of the competition.

My fiber ISP is Delta Caiway and the connection has been active for just over
a year. IPv6 is relatively new to them. Until less than a year ago they were
IPv4 only. They are relatively new and so they do not have a large stockpile
of IPv4 like the incumbants. They grow fast and so last year they ran out of
IPv4 and started putting customers on CGNAT. Then they woke up and realised
that they could no longer postphone IPv6. So now they offer IPv6. But as could
be expected under these circumstances, they still have to deal with the
child's diseases. It is something that all IPv6 advocates - including me -
have been saying for years. Don't postpone IPv6 until you no longer have a
choice. Because then it will take much more effort and cost much more than
when you do it when there is no deadline. We see what happens if you do not
listen to that advice.

In theory I could fix it by getting my own fiberglass modem/router but for
XSPON they are expensive and there is little choice. Plus that it is not easy
to get it running. I just think that the burden of providing a decent
modem/router is on them.


Cheers, Michiel
