Request to join the IPv6 Trial

[#1]

Has the trial been extended to the normal dynamic IP account holders? if so, can I get added also please

I'm interested, too.

Currently on static IPv4.

[#3]

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?

[#5]

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

[#6]

Access technology doesn't matter, you can have 0.5Mbps ADSL, 38Mbps FTTC or 900Mbps FTTP, all work fine so long as you have a router that supports IPv6 (Plusnet Hub 2 for example) and devices that support IPv6 (Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Linux etc. have supported IPv6 for ages).

@404found yeah no problem, I'll add you to the reserve list too.

@dave I would also be interested when space allows (on static IPv4 just now)

Hi,

I'd be very interested in also joining the ipv6 trial/waiting-list (username:<removed>) if the opportunity arises. I can confirm I have a static IP and an ipv6 capable router and internal network.

Many thanks,

Rob

Where is the best place to register interest in the trial?

I am in the hightouch network, have a fixed IP and run a Unifi UDM-Pro gateway with firewall enabled in place of the PlusNet router so would be interested in testing the IPv6 configuration and networking.Deepak kumar also

Thanks.

Hi @dave,

I have a static IP, when there is another free slot, could I also be added, please? As an IT Engineer I'd really like to try out IPv6 on my home setup. 

Many thanks.

[#11]

Give me a couple of weeks and I should be able to add a few more. We're getting some of the "go live" work done on how we allocate IPv6 prefixes so I want to get that ready first and then I should be able to add one more batch of customer.

[#12]

Hi Dave, new customer here, surprised/disappointed not to have IPv6 in 2026. Any chance I could join the IPv6 trial also? cheers

[#13]

Hello Dave, 

Another long term user of Plus.Net here with static IP already allocated.

It would be great to also join the IPv6 trial please.

Thanks

Hi @willcrozi @ianr999 

Thanks for posting and showing your interest.

I've shared the thread with the relevant team and if they need any extra people, we will be in touch. 

Thanks very much. 

Leanne.

Hi all,

Going to open up requests one last time as I'm hoping we're getting nearer to go live so this will likely be the last batch. I'll go through the threads and try and capture everything that's registered interest already but feel free to repost here for the avoidance of doubt.

I'll give people until 9am Wednesday 24th June and then close applications again.
