If not, when will we get it?
Verizon has been testing IPv6 for months in a few small areas. It's enabled at the Central Office level, so at least for the moment the deployments have been rather limited.
The areas that Verizon has been testing in for months now include (these were verified from a thread on DSLReports):
- Ashburn VA (no surprise, HQ's there)
- Waltham MA (VZ Tech Center there)
- A number of areas along I-95 in Virginia, including Midlothian/Richmond, Spotsylvania, and Dale City.
That said, I'm not in any of those areas (just west of Ashburn, but served by another CO) and I started seeing IPv6 router advertisements on my pfSense router last week. After some experimentation on Saturday, I was successful in getting native IPv6 service working.
So after months of no IPv6 expansion, it appears there may be further limited rollout of it going on.
If you run pfSense as your router, you might want to check out this thread on the pfSense forums. It has the settings I'm using, as well as a script that can be scheduled to run that will send notification when router advertisements are detected on your WAN interface.

No they do not on Fios. They do on Verizon wireless.
its been over 6+ years that Fios said they were thinking about it. However it has not happened yet. When it will happen? Who knows.
I think it's time for a revolt.

Thank you for that. I needed a laugh.
your service and mine do not now, nor did Verizon say I was ever going to have it.
I agree that it is time for a revolt !
I live in the New York City area and I called the DOITT (who investigate any issue with the providers) and they sent me back to verizon support.
I am currently leading a revolt in the Democratic party of New York city running OutragedDems.NYC to replace the technically clueless politicians and then when I am done, with that I will get them to turn around against Verizon and force them into IPv6.
I got with a few cohorts to change the charter of New York City to get a Chief Privacy Officer and stuff like that so by the time I done in September, I will get back into Verizon behind to get them to put IPv6 on top of the list. I am tired to have to fiddle with my router just to see Netflix and HBOgo because of the HE bridge.
Revolt ! Revolt ! Revolt !
Like Stephen Colbert used to say, you are on Notice Verizon !
@TheoChinoGeek
To much sugar in your breakfast cereal.
there is nothing in verizons service agreement that guarantees any technology updates. IPv6 being the assigned ip addresses scheme. But nice try.
in New York State the Department of Public Service controls verizon and other utilities.
they cannot make Verizon go to IPv6 and they handle valid complaints on service issues. Overcharging, non repairs to service, switching out services without consent, etc.
the rest of your post has nothing to do with asking for assistance from a customer helping customer forum.
call 1-800-VERIZON and ask them for assistance.
There's absolutely nothing wrong to ask for IPv6 because every other ISP has it by now... I would like to ask when it will happen for V-Fios as well but I know the answer to that... even if they're planning on providing it they won't tell us... so this post is pointless to an extent however we're allowed to vent our frustrations aren't we?

So, you are leading a political revolution because fiddling with your router to get around your Hurricane Electric tunnel for watching Netflix is annoying? First world problems.
Here's a temporary fix until VZ rolls out IPv6: for Netflix, set an unreachable route for 2406:da00:ff00::/48 (Netflix's IPv6 prefix). This will force Netflix to resolve through IPv4. I can't find any AAAA records for HBOGo, and I don't have it to test, but their streaming servers must have an IPv6 block, if you're having trouble. Use the dig utility on Linux to figure out what that block is, then do the same for that.
HTH
Verizon -
+1 for IPv6 please. Any timeline on when we are getting it?
While I do not have FIOS, I am happy to report that they are deploying it and this time for real.
As over heard/over read at https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32136440-Networking-IPv6-working
IPv6 Connection Type: DHCPv6-PD
🙂
I was reading that over on DSL Reports. However it is not available everywhere.
as I was reading in another thread.
To test it i I threw on the Quantum router with the IPv6 enabled and went to the IPv6 test site and it came back as not working. So it may be only deployed in certain areas to start. Little upstate NY must not be one of those areas yet. 😀
[EDIT] How soon all of the customers will have it is another matter.
Anyone here in Pittsburgh get lucky yet?
I have control over 8-9 FiOS connections throughout my city, I'll be watching and waiting for it to come!
I saw on the FiOS IPv6 page they finally mentioned that business users will be assigned a /56 - I spoke with support for a while but it seems like no one internally has been updated yet as to when businesses will have access to this.
Looking forward to more details soon!
Ha ha ha you did see the thread at DSL Reports on this issue?
evidently some areas are “claiming” to have it. Others are stating they can activate it on their routers but it’s still a no go.
Although verizon wireless has had IPv6 for quite awhile, Fios has been promising it and not doing anything about it for years now.
2019 and outside of Pittsburgh, still no IPV6. Nicely done Fios. Nice.
As this thread is now over two years old, it will be locked in order to keep discussions current. If you have the same or a similar question/issue we invite you to start a new thread on the topic.
