List of Native IPv6 ISPs ?

Which UK ISPs offer native IPv6 as standard ? I'm aware of AAISP, and Black Cat used to do it until they disappeared, there is also another which I came across and promptly forgot to bookmark

Pretty sure these were the guys I forgot to bookmark - Goscomb.

Technically I believe no xDSL ISP is 'native' IPv6 enabled as the BT platform doesn't (or didn't when I last worked with it) support it.

Enta are another who do IPv6 I believe.

Or for all intensive purposes, anyone + HE.net v6 tunnel does exactly the same thing...

AAISP do run native IPv6, but IIRC they did make customers aware that certain things broke due to BT not fully inplementing it. They also can tunnel it too. I used to run IPv6 using my Cisco 1841 and it worked fine for me, using one of my 1,208,925,819,614,629,174,706,176 static IPv6 addresses!

I've not been with them for a while and I don't idle on the IRC channel anymore so I don't know the latest.

Yep, I'm with Enta (though my reseller is changing providers shortly), I got the impression from the odd forum post that their trial is a bit unreliable/patchy so maybe not something you'd expect to work all the time.

I've used tunnel brokers before and had a quick look at the HE forums (have a Cisco 877W). The good news is that there seem to be quite a few posts for setting up my router, the bad news is that it looks about as much fun as dental work without anesthetic. :eek:

It's easy, they even provide a sample config during the setup process. It really is very easy...

Agreed. Setting the tunnel up is not hard at all. Troubleshooting issues is a PITA though - I've still got mysterious IPv6 issues on my 877 and I've no idea why
