new bt fttp connection - ipv6

[chm2009]

Ok so now 6 days since installation, speeds are great and stable, excellent in fact, only issue is ipv6 is still showing disabled, again was fine before with gfast, ive power cycled the router but nothing else, is there anything else that would make sense as to why ipv6 still isnt coming through?

As said previously, the only thing I can think of is a fault at the BRAS. To be honest, it's not something to worry about, IPv6 isn't universally available by all ISPs. 

[chm2009]

Yeah im not too worried just something that could become more needed as time goes on, would have expected a temporary fault to be sorted by now but perhaps not. I'll keep my eye on it, thanks.

Must admit it does seem a bit odd. Might be worth asking if any of your neighbours on FTTP are getting IPv6

[chm2009]

Yeah dont really talk to any neighbours dont think many of them would know what fttp is let alone ipv6 🙂
Could power cycling the ont make any difference? dont want to do it if it might mess with anything else for no gain, again its not a major concern everything works great just a minor annoyance that it should be enabled and isnt.

[licquorice]

The ONT is just a modem and is transparent to the IP layer, so can't see how power cycling would help.

[chm2009]

Yeah thought that, that's why I hadn't bothered to do it sooner but just keep expecting it to pop back on, if it is something at their end who would be the best contact?

[licquorice]

There isn't really any contact.

I'll flag it to the mods and see if they can find out anything. They will probably post on here for further information from you.

Ok many thanks.

Hi @chm2009 

Thanks for your post and welcome back!

I hope you're enjoying your Full Fibre service.  The Hub should prioritise IPv6.  Run this test and let me know how you get on >> https://test-ipv6.com/
