Re: Centurylink Fiber IPV6 said by sd70mac: Facebook is IPv6 native, all IPv4 access to their site goes through NAT6to4. Other large websites are moving the same way. Many games significantly benefit from IPv6 as well (due to no Network Address Translation, which is a huge kludge). In short, everyone who has an IPv6-capable device should turn on IPV6, so that they don't suffer a degraded experience. Again. Still its not needed. Its nice to have. But the internet works just fine still with ipv4 (especially for residential service) which has been my point this whole time.

Hello Forum,

My name is Thomas & I'm a 10-year network architect here at CenturyLink. I was looking at this forum and wanted to clear a few things up so this will be my first post. For starters, we plan on having all residential customers in the legacy Embarq and Qwest areas on IPOE and native IPv4/IPv6 dual stack by the end of Q2 2020. Please remember, we aren’t only the second largest U.S. communications provider to global enterprise customers but are also a big player in the residential ISP realm as well. We believe IPv6 is the future, and many of our residential to enterprise customers have shown immense interest. I hope this helps to clear up any confusion as to our vision of the future of IPv6 on our network.

If I understand you correctly, we will no longer need PPoE credentials or VLAN tagging. We this will allow us to use just about any wireless router on the market that can handle gigabit speeds.

Re: Centurylink Fiber IPV6 Is this something that is going to happen all at once or will it start popping up in certain areas?

Re: Centurylink Fiber IPV6 That is correct Chongo at least in terms of the region that I'm involved with. Now, with regards to the question asked by Kiktrix this is already occurring in some areas of the legacy Qwest region if you're in Colorado as stated on your profile. By the end of Q2 2020 it should be the new norm in most locations. I will keep everyone on this forum updated to the best of my ability.

Bountiful, UT 2 recommendations RavenGirl Member CTLThomas: I'm in the Salt Lake City area. I currently have PrismTV so I'm currently on IPOE for that. I'm probably going to be cancelling that soon if it's not discontinued forcefully. Is there any magic phrase I can use when I cancel to stay on IPOE vs going back to PPPoE - which is a pain in the ass for my current setup?

If you're already on IPoE I wouldn't expect that to change from what it sounds like it doesn't make sense for them to switch back and forth when the plan is to switch to IPoE over time.



My parents are former PrismTV customers and they're still on IPoE after dropping the TV service.

4 recommendations Kiktrix Member I get what you're saying Bob it only seems logical. However, there has been previous posts that would probably give Raven reason to believe that they would be switching her to PPPoE if she drops Prism because apparently they were doing that to people when they left Prism.

Correct. When CL "accidentally" cancelled my parents prism tv while i was only trying to get the modem rental removed they were moved back to PPPoE.

OK. I bought Netgear Nighthawk AC2600/R7400 router. (90$ Black Friday, $100 off) I got it up and running, 932 up/down. Anyone know how to get IPV6 running? I tried auto detect and auto config, no luck.

Re: Centurylink Fiber IPV6 I found that some Netgear routers don't allow all forms of IPv6. 6rd and 6in4 were notably lacking on one model I tried.
