tmiw Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Another thing to keep in mind that even though a website may return IPv6 addresses in DNS, the DNS servers that the website itself uses may be v4 only. This isn't a problem now, but could be in the future if we start having Internet connections that only have v6 addresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I noticed today that my VZW Hotspot is connecting using IPv6. But AT&T LTE still not. In my area, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckinohio1 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The first site in the list (cybermod) will only load if you have IPv6 on the device that is trying to load it. That site itself is an example of an IPv6 only site. You must not have a working IPv6 path to the internet on your home computer. I suggest you go to: http://test-ipv6.com and test your computer to see if it has both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks running with connectivity to the internet. ahhh well i guess time warner does not use IPv6 then. its weird because we are upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0 and i know for a fact that supports v6. perhaps its the DNS server they use? ive never changed it before.

I have TWC and they definitely support IPv6. You'll have to get a router that supports it/turn it on in your router's settings but it is there.

I wonder if IPv6 would work if I edited the APN... Unfortunately 5.1.1 took away the ability to view or edit the APN with a Sprint SIM inserted (though I could probably edit the db manually). Does the S6 edge let you view the APN that's being used? I'm also curious what happens if you drop to 3G. Sent from my Nexus 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmiw Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 No IPv6 on my iPhone 6 either (except when connected to my home Wi-Fi network). Maybe it's being rolled out on a market by market basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tap on that APN, it should list a bunch of stuff (it's greyed out so you can't edit it), one of which is APN protocol. Does it say IPv4, IPv6, or IPv4/IPv6 in that field?

gusherb Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 AT&T and T-Mobile LTE are not using IPV6 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingenium Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 AT&T and T-Mobile LTE are not using IPV6 for me.T-Mobile has their APN set to use IPv6 by default on newer devices. You can change the APN and it'll work (set it to IPv6, not IPv4/IPv6). Some things may be faster since it won't have to go through their carrier grade NAT.

tsume Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I've had IPv6 over Sprint LTE for a while now on my M9. Might have even been there since release, but I've definitely had it for at least a month. http://i.imgur.com/CEM081b.png http://i.imgur.com/1qB11IG.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingenium Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 No IPv6 here.So I suspect that it can be "forced" by editing the APN. But I'm not sure if that is necessarily a good thing. It'll mean anything using IPv6 (Google for example) will need to re-establish a connection upon dropping to 3G. If Google Play Services, for example, doesn't know it lost IPv6, then it could delay push notifications for several minutes until the heartbeat times out.

tmiw Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 FWIW my iPhone's field engineering screen seems to indicate that it's using n.ispsn too, but there's still only an IPv4 address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
