   Hello Dmitry,   
      
   On Sunday September 29 2024 17:07, you wrote to me:

   Not here, it is not related to IPv6, so off-topic. If you wish to discuss this   
   any further meet me in FN_SYSOP.

   Indeed. FTH is booming and the competition is fierce. Several competing   
   companies ae rolling it out like a flood. Planting their flag in as many   
   households in as short a time as possible is their first priority. All to be   
   ahead of the competition.   
      
   My fiber ISP is Delta Caiway and the connection has been active for just over   
   a year. IPv6 is relatively new to them. Until less than a year ago they were   
   IPv4 only. They are relatively new and so they do not have a large stockpile   
   of IPv4 like the incumbants. They grow fast and so last year they ran out of   
   IPv4 and started putting customers on CGNAT. Then they woke up and realised   
   that they could no longer postphone IPv6. So now they offer IPv6. But as could   
   be expected under these circumstances, they still have to deal with the   
   child's diseases. It is something that all IPv6 advocates - including me -   
   have been saying for years. Don't postpone IPv6 until you no longer have a   
   choice. Because then it will take much more effort and cost much more than   
   when you do it when there is no deadline. We see what happens if you do not   
   listen to that advice.   
      
   In theory I could fix it by getting my own fiberglass modem/router but for   
   XSPON they are expensive and there is little choice. Plus that it is not easy   
   to get it running. I just think that the burden of providing a decent   
   modem/router is on them.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
