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.
