»T-Mobile Goes IPv6 Only on Android 4.4 Devices [35] comments

These are some pretty big numbers in terms of v6 adoption. Especially in the mobile space.

That is because of LTE. It would have been foolish to deploy IPv4 on that.

As for residential, Verizon is in no rush because they have a crapload of v4 IP's. In the meantime, I tried tunnel 6to4 (ok lots of caveats), but I'm more concerned w/ DNS security and hence run my own DNS server.

I certainly think them doing v6 is great, but I think most people would cheer raising the 300GB cap. Seems to me everything is getting better on the network, except the caps.

Yet Sprint and AT&T did just that.

Like I said My ghetto prepaid from Sprint/ATT are not LTE, so wasn't aware. But my TMO and VZ LTE devices are def IPv6.

I can understand Sprint, but AT&T I think they are converting are the not?

Funnily enough they recently (Sprint) officially launched LTE in my area, but yet no signal....

They are not. AT&T's only v6 deployment is on their wireline business.

Sprint is using DoD squat space for IPv4 and many layers of NAT. ...and we wonder why their network sucks. :P

T-Mobile was doing the same thing at least until earlier this year. I havent seen a DoD IP in a few months, though.

EDIT: I'll eat my words, I just looked and they're still doing the same thing. At least my speedtest was 14/3 with a 48ms ping so I won't complain.
