On Fibre Would be interested in trialling IPv6

Neilj — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 19:56:39 GMT

Hi there any spaces left on the IPv6 trial? I'm on unlimited fibre however I'm not using the plusnet / Openreach combo but a TP-Link VDSL Modem/Router.

I am leaving end of today and someone else on the trial also I think will leave plusnet.
I will stop using my login at some point today and inform Bob.

Not at present, sorry. They're all taken/reserved.

No problem, I've actually just found out my phone service doesn't support v6 yet anyway.

Out of interest, who did you reallocate ipv6test10 (the one I relinquished) to?

Doesn't look like anyone did. I'll reach out to one of the people that have PM'd me.

What about Estragon's?

How does the phone service affect it?

When I read his post I assumed he was referring to a VoIP phone service

I'm in now
VOIP isn't a problem
I can't get the TTB ping monitor to work though, Which address should I be using?

It appears to be a bit messy getting it to respond to pings - read here http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/fibre/3994697-how-to-get-a-fritzbox-7390-working-as-a-vdsl-modem.html?fpart=all

I am only using the 7390 as a router as I only connected at 61mb with it and with the HG612 I get 76mb, the ping monitor works fine with my normal account

with you - the ping monitor doesn't work on ip6 I believe

Thanks

I am on bng as it seems to work ok but the v6 address seems to renew it self at 03:38 & 15:38 is this normal?

BQM does work on the IPv6 trial Jim, the problem being it became almost impossible to get onto a gateway that supported IPv6. For many of us the bng series doesn't, or at least didn't for several triallists. I believe they did work for some.
Maybe they've part-fixed them now if the OP is getting a short-leased IPv6 address on a bng.

I used to find the first 4 groups were fixed, the second 4 changed, but I didn't look into at what interval. If you run the thinkbroadband BQM that keeps on working, because of that first 4.
