No IPv6 yet, instead CGN?

And the link you sent clearly states it does not affect FiOS customers.

"Be a Residential customer with High Speed Internet Service. There is no need to “opt-out” if you are a FiOS or Business customer."

Yeah, GCN only applies to DSL, not FiOS.

I've opted out here, even though it isn't in my area yet. I run many applications that are very sensitive being behind any sort of Carrier Grade NAT, and they will ultimately break or cease to function entirely.

Thanks for the heads up on the link.

Since the last IPv4 /8 blocks were allocated a couple of years ago carrier NAT is inevitable. It is also surprising residential ISPs, with the notable exception of Comcast, seem to be doing little to roll out IPv6.

Interesting CGN is being deployed for DSL customers but not FIOS. I assume they will use the reclaimed addresses to provide IPv4 addresses to new FIOS customers. Another indication Verizon wants to walk away from copper.
