IPv6 for business static IP
Hi Telus, This is about the same thread already answered: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/IPv6-not-working-Vancouver-Business-PureFibre-debugging-with/m-p/77894#M13494 I would...
So is the answer in 2023 still the same (we either get static IPv4/unblocked ports or we get native IPv6, but not both)? I see your reply thanking Jordan but not the answer itself...hmmm...
If the answer is the same is there a petition or something we can sign to let Telus know of the interest? Using a 6in4 tunnel is a pretty shabby workaround as I have run into a few nagging issues (one of which is Cloudflare's interference with IPv6 address blocks associated with common 6in4 tunnel providers--part of Cloudflare's mission to ruin the Internet I guess 😉
I agree, this is unacceptable in 2023 (arguably also in 2013 and maybe earlier).

TL;DR
At the moment, you have a mutually exclusive choice, due to limitations in provisioning.
- Native IPv6 Connectivity
- Static IP & No inbound port blocking.
- Actually, scratch that. On business PureFibre regardless of static (registered MACs) of dynamic addresses, there is no IPv6 handed out by the head end. Tested on three different routers. Used to work on residential service, same address, same fibre pair 😕
