I have had an IPv6 tunnel working through Hurricane Electric since 2011 or so but increasingly it is not usable due to changes in security stances at the destination sites. Ideally I would like to have a /48 subnet with addresses that allow use of DNS etc.. Checked with tech support at MTS and Shaw but both said IPv6 is not available through them. So I am wondering what others are doing. Really appreciate any advice or suggestions about IPv6 providers in Winnipeg. Thank you very much, Vijay -- Vijay Sankar, M.Eng., P.Eng.

So far as I know, Les.net and VOI are the only providers in the Winnipeg are currently providing IPv6 all the way to individual customers. Les can only do direct customer connections in a fairly limited area of downtown, but there's multiple ways to reach his network. MTS and Shaw *will* do IPv6 (and BGP), but only on fiber. You may have to install a router at Les.net and do your own VPN tunnel to there (for both IPv4 and IPv6, if you want). Les peers with Shaw at 10Gbps, so performance should be acceptable if you're on a Shaw cable modem locally. -Adam On 2016-05-01 10:55, Vijay Sankar wrote:

my understanding was that he *could* turn on ipv6 to the dsl subscribers ... but has not yet done that ... Dan. On 1 May 2016 at 11:19, Adam Thompson <athompso@athompso.net> wrote:

It's Les. He'll get around to doing that "eventually". Also, he doesn't like reselling MTS DSL because it's a huge pain for him for relatively tiny revenue, so unless it piques his interest for some unfathomable reason, I don't think it'll actually happen in our lifetimes. -Adam
