So frequently on this list we hear people asking/begging their providers
for IPv6 roadmaps or chastising them for the lack of same, that I thought
it might be nice to actually give props to a provider actually moving the
needle.
I was pleasantly surprised today to notice an IPv6 address on my Android
smartphone on the Rogers Wireless LTE network. I had to do a double-take
and poke through test-ipv6.com to make sure something wasn't amiss, but
there it was: honest-to-$deity dual stack service on a Canadian mobile
provider, with a dual-stack resolver and everything! ;)
So, kudos, Rogers Wireless!
So that's Rogers on the wireless side (with Telus Mobility at last check
being in early stages but not yet fully rolled out), and basically Rogers,
Telus and a bunch of smaller or regional ISPs that have deployed IPv6 on
residential and/or business wired service. Shaw? Bell? (FYI Bell, your
IPv6 Starter Kit linked from http://ipv6.bell.ca/ currently hits a 404.
