Comcast Reaches 100% Residential IPv6 Deployment Monday Aug 18 2014 13:05 EDT Tipped by whfsdude While Comcast certainly has its faults, the cable giant has led the way when it comes to IPv6 deployment while many larger ISPs have napped. Comcast recently announced they've officially completed their residential IPv6 deployments, and around 30% of their customers are now actively running IPv6. The company says they expect customer adoption to reach around 50% by the end of next year. "The deployment of IPv6 is a critical step in supporting the growing needs of the Internet, as IPv4 resources, engineered and brought to fruition over 30 years ago, continue to dwindle due to the explosion of devices hooked into the global network," states the company. For those interested, the Internet Society recently released the latest breakdown of IPv6 adoption rates by carrier, noting that Verizon Wireless has reached 53.55%, AT&T has reached 20%, and Time Warner Cable has reached 10%. |

What about others?I wonder when will Optimum and Verizon deploy IPv6? Optimum didn't even start (they even ignored the IPv6 day campaign). Verizon kind of started, but halted the effort. | |
