Comcast removed the "no IPv6" excuse? That removal somehow skipped my house in Washington DC where they installed (last October) a router which does not even support it (an Arrus voice gateway- the one where you can&#39;t turn of the crummy 2.4g wireless radio) and none of the folks I&#39;ve spoken to on the phone can tell me when or if it will be coming.

I know Verizon is rolling out v6 in some areas of their FiOS footprint. The router they provided supports it, but what I got from their customer service people was that they ran into some sort of issue with their TV set-top boxes working properly with IPv6 or at least in a dual-stack environment. At least that's where things stand in Pittsburgh.

I don't think they've provided training to their customer service people on IPv6 yet. The rep I spoke with a few weeks ago told me I was the first customer that has asked her about it.

Looking forward to native v6 / dual-stack here...
