What's weird about them not supporting ipv6?

hestefisk • Aug 5, 2020 • View on HN

Could be ISP adoption. Some ISPs have been more progressive in ipv6 than others.

There’s lots of ipv6 available. But it’s not everywhere yet

Well most ISP don't support IPv6 so it's really not an issue atm.

rhexs • Nov 9, 2018 • View on HN

Shucks. No ipv6 support in my area.

preisschild • Sep 18, 2023 • View on HN

Blame your ISP. IPv6 should have already been supported since the 2000s.

How well do they deal with IPv6 ?

mort96 • Apr 8, 2022 • View on HN

Hahahahaha your ISP supports IPv6 already?

bombela • Jul 3, 2025 • View on HN

Why don't your ISPs just use IPv6?

Any sign of IPv6 support on the horizon? Slightly embarrassing in 2017...
