IPv6 via Hybrid Connect

Mike_Turner — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 13:49:01 GMT

I'm in the process of switching from FTTC to FTTP, and have received my new Smart Hub and Hybrid Connect. I have set these up, and, even though I don't yet have the fibre connection, I can get an IPv4 connection via the Hybrid Connect. However, I can't get an IPv6 connection.

Is this to be expected?

If not, what else do I have to do?

If this is to be expected, will I be able to get an IPv6 connection when I get properly connected?

IP v6 will be available on FTTP but not on Hybrid connect.

Thank you. That explains it. I'll have to have a think about the implications, now.

There are very few sites that are IPv6 only.

Yes - I know, but I have my own sites on my own servers at home, so I was thinking about offering IPv6, rather than using it to access other sites.

Anyway, I'm happy with the answer, thanks.
