Any info on BCI static IPv6 addresses?

Been curious for a while now, seeing as residential rollout seems (nearly) complete. And any info on how many addresses, e.g. will it be a block of millions like residential is getting? FWIW comcast6.net says my head-end is ready to go.

Hey train_wreck,

 

Thanks for the http://www.comcast6.net  great source of Comcast IPV6 progress, but there are still some irons in the fire that have to be cooled off and hardened as stated within as you can imagine. This website is also impressive in that it can measure your Cable Modem Termination System's IPV6 readiness. Very cool !

 

This statement from within "  Comcast's IPv6 deployment continues to expand, over 25% of our customers are actively provisioned with native dual stack broadband!  The following areas of the Comcast broadband footprint are now fully IPv6 enabled - Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Houston." kind of says it all for the progress measuring stick. As of Nov 18, 2013 the WWW IS established Comcast as the largest company IPV6 deployment in the world. I am highly confident that Comcast / Time Warner recent deal will put some additional more deplyment work on the table in many locations.

 

Comcast continues its customers IPV6 implementation and hopefully this expansiion continues to migrate exponentially as the graphs within show.

Thanks for the info. I definitely realize that rolling something like this out takes a mountain of moving, testing & retesting & such. Not to mention that probably 90%+ of websites aren't routably accessibile via IPv6, certainly in a non-tunneled fashion. I'm sure the Comcast RIP implementation for static IPs will have to be re-worked as well.

 

Btw, i've seen you around these forums a lot recently, do you happen to work for Comcast by chance?
