Vietnam (pop. 98M) has mandated moving to IPv6, with goals for migration between 2025 and 2030:

Meanwhile in Australia I called my ISP to enable IPv6 and they asked me to justify why I needed it.

Because "it's the Internet" and has been a standard since the year 2000 doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to bother...

Some of the larger Danish ISP has explained that they do not offer IPv6, because there's no demand. I very much doubt that they have any demand for IPv4 either, because most people don't know and don't care how the internet is delivered to them.

If it's NBN, Aussie Broadband and Superloop/Exetel have good IPv6 support with prefix delegation giving you a /56.

Yup, I have a /56 delegated. Now if I only had something at home that needs to be world accessible...

I'm on Aussie Broadband, but the building is with OptiComm -- a company that decided that their business model is lock-in contracts with the apartment builders and price-gouging of customers.

"I'm a software developer and I need it to do my job."

Even if it's not strictly true, that seems like a solid justification. Though obviously that won't work for the general public.

That is a wild response to give a customer. I'm surprised they are still in business if that's how they treat fairly reasonable customer requests.

Yeah, a normal ISP would just say "we don't have it".

ClassyJacket · 2024-10-21T04:41:24.000000Z

What ISP is that? Name and shame. I'm Australian and want to know to avoid them.

jiggawatts · 2024-10-21T05:18:33.000000Z

OptiComm

You can't avoid them because they're not a retail telco, they provide wholesale/bulk services to apartment buildings with 15-year lock in contracts.
