BT and Sky?

PLan2015 — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 21:04:05 GMT

Rumour has it that BT and Sky are likely to roll out IPv6 in the not too distant future, can we expect Plusnet to do the same in 2015?

Admire your cynicism.
Hope you're wrong.
Once the biggies 'jump on board' I'd hope it's only a matter of time (hopefully not measured on the same scale as the new billing system). Ah, I suddenly see where your cynicism comes from now.

It's kind of like a glacier - you know it'll get there in the end, but you really need to speed up the film so that you can see it.

Clarification: Sky will have 92%+ of it's users on IPv6 by the summer.
They are way ahead of Plusnet!
