Kabelaar UPC will be the previously announced commitment to ipv6 this year to roll, not pick up. UPC expects the ipv4 successor’ at the earliest in mid-2013 will offer, partly because parent company Liberty Global is still enough ipv4 addresses in the hands would have.
At the beginning of this year announced that UPC that the intention was to continue this year, ipv6 addresses, in particular new customers to provide because the ipv4 adresvoorraad exhausted, and threatened to hit. The kabelaar, however, if requested, to Tweakers know that ipv6 this year not entered will go on the internet network of the kabelaar. If reason, calls spokesperson Ronald Sutmuller of UPC that the company was still sufficient ipv4 addresses in stock. These are sourced from the ipv4-adresvoorraad that is in the hands of parent company, Liberty Global.
UPC shall, in accordance with Sutmuller probably in mid-2013 and start handing out ipv6 addresses, approximately a half a year later than the previous plans. The company does this on its website. Currently, the kabelaar still busy with the testing of ipv6, but customers get no ipv6 address assigned.
According to Sutmuller shows that UPC customers can, in practice, no problems are experienced due to the absence of an ipv6 address and an ipv6 roll-out ‘not a race’. However, promises the isp developments in the global deployment of ipv6 monitor closely, and as possible, the rollout will accelerate as customers for example websites can not obtain that only via ipv6 to reach.
In addition, UPC has also Ziggo earlier this year indicated that in 2012, ipv6 will offer. It is not yet clear whether Ziggo this endeavor will go to the consumer, to wholesale customers, Ziggo is already ipv6. The plans of KPN with ipv6 are still not clear; only KPN-daughter Xs4all offers its customers a native ipv6 address.
