You might be surprised. Almost every cable company in the US does, so most Internet users in the US could have ipv6.

The problem is usually the $50 wireless access point most people bought 5 years ago doesn't pass ipv6 through.



Spectrum (formerly TWC) in Dallas does not. I still run an he.net tunnel on my router.

Last time I checked (a few months ago), UVerse in Dallas didn't either.


I had IPv6 from TWC, then for a month or so before the merger it went MIA, and then about a month after the merger it was back. For some reason I get a more reliable path to my IPv6 gateway than IPv4, so I missed it quite a bit.


Spectrum/TWC has had IPv6 via DHCPv6 with prefix delegation for a few years in Louisville, but only with a select set of modems. A Juniper DOCSIS 3 wouldn't work for me while a Motorola had no trouble.


I wonder if it's a regional thing? A friend of mine has spectrum from Charter (formerly Bresnan in this case) and he gets ipv6.
