[LUG] Your ISP - and IPv6

[Neil Winchurst <barnaby@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been with the same ISP (fast.co.uk) since October 2007. That is 
quite a long time, it seems to me. They are OK although recently I have 
been seeing a lot of variations in the download speeds. This may be 
something at the exchange of course.

I have been seeing and hearing more about IPv6 recently. Now I don't 
know much about it, but it seems that the older IPv4 numbers are running 
out. Again, I am not sure if there is any urgency to change yet.

I am beginning to wonder if it is time to change to another ISP. Fast is 
rather expensive, from what I can see looking around Google. (I do 
understand that, like most things, you get what you pay for to some 
extent.)

So, as a combination of the above thoughts I have been looking around to 
see which ISP's are now ready for IPv6. Not many! I have spoken to the 
people at Fast and they are obviously not a bit interested at the moment.

So, does anyone on the list have any thoughts, opinions, on this please?
This may be on interest to others too,

thanks

Neil
