IPv6 doesn't work on Telus home service.
When staying with my daughter in Victoria, I noticed that the Telus service seemed to support IPv6. I got a public IP address on my laptop, and could ping google.com. I could also ping6 my laptop back from Amazon AWS.
However, SSH login didn't work, or any other ports. My laptop works fine at home on Starlink. I assume something is broken or blocked at the Telus end. Very disappointing.

Thanks. I'm home now. I'll try next time I'm there. Apologies for the delay.

Can you try these steps to see if you can get SSH working? You'll need to tell the TELUS Gateway to trust that specific inbound traffic. Here’s how you can do it while you’re visiting:
Access the Gateway: Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.254. (The admin password is usually on the sticker of the white hub in the basement or closet).
Locate IPv6 Firewall Rules: Look under Advanced Settings > Security > Firewall.
Create an Inbound Rule: You'll want to allow TCP Port 22 (or whatever port your SSH is on).
