No IPv6 For UK Broadband Users

Posted by timothy on from the not-now-love-not-now dept.

BT (the incumbent telephone company in the United Kingdom) are in the process of spending millions of pounds on upgrading their network to an all-IP core. However, they have failed to consider 21st Century protocol support, preferring to insist that IPv4 is enough for everyone. Haven't they noticed the IPv4 exhaustion report yet?

    Bill? Is that you? You sound like a commercial... might want to work on your spelling too.

    MS Windows is NOT reliable. When the maker recommends periodic reboots, it's not reliable and they are very well aware of it. Why aren't you?

    You're talking out of your ass. NAT is a horrible kludge of a workaround for a problem that IPv6 solves. I have no idea what your ramblings about ATM are supposed to prove...
