Another Big day for IPv6 - 10% native penetration

Mon Jan 4 16:44:31 UTC 2016

Great news and even more impressive is that Canada is the fastest adopter with ~8% IPv6 penetration, growing from almost 0.5% to 8% in 3 months!!!.  See http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/CA

Telus is making a big difference in Canada as the IPv6 adoption leader @ ~45% IPv6 adoption.    http://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/AS852?c=CA&g=&w=1&x=1

Hint, hint, subliminal message here for all Canadian ISPs, IPv6 works  ;-)

So let's shutdown IPv4 on April 4, 2024 

Bonne Année!
