I just got off the phone with a level 1 tech support guy about an issue =
with my parents Cablevision/Optimum Online service and decided to ask =
the fellow if there's any official company news about IPv6 being in the =
works. His comments were that there is a test coming up (he was =
referring to World IPv6 Day), though he admitted that Cablevision is =
choosing not to participate in the "test" because they want to wait to =
see that IPv6 actually works without problems before they turn it on. He =
said it with a tone that seemed to express that the World IPv6 Day =
"test" is an irresponsible diversion. I politely and without any =
noticeable condescension (I believe) told him "that's what I expected" =
and bid him adieu.
It's neat how they're going to skip that irresponsible testing phase and =
just turn it on one day and it's going to work perfectly.
And I wonder how they'll know when IPv6 is done. Maybe is has one of =
those things that frozen turkeys have, that pops out when it's done.
I've got my HE tunnels up and running on a Mikrotik hardware on the =
little networks I manage. I can't wait for IPv6 Day.
So someone on the list please let Cablevision/Optonline know when you've =
finished IPv6. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
