Request to join the IPv6 Trial

kaiex — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 00:05:27 GMT

Hi,

I would like to request access to the IPv6 trial, please.

I am a Plusnet broadband customer based in Woking and I am keen to start using IPv6 on my connection. Could someone from the team add my account to the trial?

My username is kaiex.

Thank you in advance for your help!

@kaiex Unfortunately, I think you will find the trial is fully subscribed.

@kaiex

I have asked the business for an update on the current IPv6 status.

Hi @kaiex,

Thanks for your interest in the IPv6 trial. We’re at full capacity right now, but if more spaces open up, we’ll reach out to those who’ve expressed interest.

Thanks for your patience!

James

Likewise

But how long will the trial run before (hopefully) it becomes a 'normalised' part of the Plusnet package. bearing in mind how long it has been since IPv6 was formally ratified as a full Internet Standard (2017)?

Going to open a few extra slots for the trial for @kaiex @smithg and @Shackman205

Give me a couple of weeks to get the additions processed.

Hi Dave,

If you have any spare openings I would be interested in trialing the IPv6. Currently using eero Pro 6 system on full fibre 900.

Thanks.

Likewise I am my self interested in joining the IPv6 trail, although am a little surprised that it's still a trail in 2026, when many other ISP's offer IPV6 as standard. How long before Plusnet offer IPv6 to all customers?

Can someone please add me to the IPv6 trail waiting list. Plusnet account number is [Removed] and BBEU number is [Removed].

Kind regards.

I'm interested, too.

Currently on static IPv4.

Re: Request to join the IPv6 Trial

dave — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:01:34 GMT

We're currently running 2 IPv6 trials, one for customers with static IPv4 addresses and one for dynamic IPv4 addresses as customers on each are on a different network. The dynamic trial is currently restricted by geography to parts of Chesterfield, Sheffield and Kingston upon Thames and also just staff members at present, the odds are quite low that anyone on the forum is in the trial area as we're only covering something like 0.2% of all customers.

The static IP trial doesn't have any geographic restrictions, you just need a static IP, I'll probably open up requests again sometime next month. @kashmiri @GrottoTree I'll put you down for when I open requests again.

At the moment I'm expecting that the dynamic IP trial will be ready to go live first, I don't want to commit to a date yet but things are going very well.

Hi @dave , thanks for the update.

Funnily, I'm in one of the dynamic areas (not a staff member, though), but also having a public static IP that I'd prefer not to lose.

Out curiosity, does the technology matter? I mean, FTTC vs FTTH?

Any chance I could be added to the list too @dave? 😁
