What is a =E2=80=9C4wire=E2=80=9D modem? Is that a Chinese knockoff of a =
2wire brand? ;-) Or are you referring to a pair-bonded modem?
AT&T seems to only offer the pair-bonded device (in most cases, a =
Motorola NVG589) when you have their 45mbps =E2=80=9CPower=E2=80=9D =
service. If anything, you could always upgrade to the 45mbps service =
just to get the new modem, and then downgrade after you get the modem =
installed. The newer modems, including the 589, provide IPv6 support =
using 6rd.
The compatibility test previously mentioned will determine if your =
current device is capable of IPv6. The older equipment has firmware =
updates available that will provide IPv6 connectivity.
