Do the cable companies have in place the ability to track IPV6 IP addresses like they do with IPV4 addresses. Are the logs linking IPV6 addresses with customer account information?
I was under the impression that one of the benefits of IPv6 was that it had IPsec built in... which would certainly make it more difficult for the ISP to track what you were doing. -- Everything in moderation... Including Moderation --Oscar Wilde

I thought that too.
My router gives 1 IPV6 address to Comcast on the WAN connection. But when a PC on my local net logs on to a web site, it never gives that IPV6 address to the web site. Each device gives a completely separate IPV6 address to the web site different from the WAN addr given to Comcast. Now I know routing tables must tie the 2 together, but if a web site give Comcast a device IPV6 address to lookup, do their logs tie the two together and also to an account record? Interesting questions I am not technical enough to answer.
P.S.>>I am not sure why, but my router does NOT include the MAC address in the IPV6 addr for the router itself or client machines in the IPV6 address given to a web site as some clients do. »superuser.com/questions/243669/h···ing-ipv6

That sounds like a good thing, from what I read of your link, it's not supposed to display the MAC address but does so in some cases. -- Everything in moderation... Including Moderation --Oscar Wilde
