I don't use IPv6 on my lab. They been screaming to the bleachers since like 2010 that IPv6 is right around the corner due to lack of addresses, and I've still seen no real reason to want to adopt for it.
My current provider doesn't even support it... so why should I?

In fact when I was in college taking classes on IPv6 we were told it would be everywhere next year. This was 1994. Lol Personally I don't like it because it's too overengineered for me. They should have added 2 bytes to IPv4 and called it a day. That means we would have had the address space of 65536 internets. Really plenty. IPv6 has too much space.

> My current provider doesn't even support it... In what kind of godforsaken backwater do ISPs that don't support IPv6 still exist!?

I have been ipv6 only for a few years due to my ISP and it made a few ipv4-only people very angry when they couldn't access my websites
