Called last week and, no, FiOS *still* doesn't do ipv6.  Seriously
ridiculous.

Yeah, same, and fully get that renumbering will be annoying if FiOS ever
actually does ipv6 but I suspect it'd be worth it.  The HE.Net tunnel is
pretty good but there's still sometimes it goes out even though my FiOS
v4 is working fine. :/

I'd probably just overlay the new addresses and then update DNS and wait
a couple of weeks, wouldn't really be that much of an issue.  If HE
actually takes away the tunnel, that'd be unfortunate but I'd just
remove the v6 addresses from DNS, most stuff should fall back to v4 just
fine.

Thanks,

Stephen
