I keep pestering my home ISP about turning it on (since their network is
now 100% DOCSIS 3), but they just seem to think I'm making up words. One
can hope, though.
This has partially been a vendor issue, at least for cable providers.
Two of the major CMTS vendors (one starts with C, the other A) have had
IPv6 related bugs in fairly recent code releases. Both of the MSOs
I've worked for have had to delay IPv6 deployment while those vendors
get their waterfowl properly aligned. I know we're still waiting for
one vendor to get it straightened out.
