I'm wondering if Virgin will support IPv6 before it's required?
I very much doubt it.
Having said that, during the old 56K wars between X2 and Kflex Virgin supported both and did go over to V90 as soon as it popped up, so there is precedent for them being early adopters. Don't forget on the business side it would be a good marketing ploy for them as well to appear to be on the front line of what technology ISPs offer their customers.
