April 2016 Modem firmware IPV6
Modem: ARRIS SB6183
OLD:
SB6183-9.2.0.0-GA-04-37-NOSH
NEW:
D30CM-OSPREY-1.5.0.1-GA-01-NOSH
After a brief web search, It appears to me that this new firmware is associated with IPV6.
Is IPV6 now supported in my area? Phoenix, Arizona

I just changed a few settings in my router Arris SBRAC-1750 enabling IPV6 and the performance has substantially increased. My speedtest top speeds are about the same as normal. The web pages are loading faster than expected. Quicker response times.
After changing the router settings, I also powercycled my modem and router for 20-30 seconds.
If IPV6 has finally been implemented in the valley- it would be wonderful if Cox provided residents with an official announcement.

I'm glad to hear it's working well for you. I believe this was implemented late last year actually.

I'm in Tucson, IPv6 was turned on for AZ back in September or October.

Hmmm, good to know- I never received notification about the change from IPV4 to IPV6 in my area.
I know that the firmware on my modem was recently changed.
The technology in my router was set to IPV4, while the modem was set to IPV6. This would create conflicts, no?

I didn't appreciate having this fundamental change imposed on me without being notified in advance. I'm not saying "without my approval", which some would feel is a reasonable expectation. I'm upset that it was unleashed on me without prior notice. I'm pissed because I spent thirty minutes troubleshooting one of my computers.
Cox Communications is supposed to add value to my life, not send me on a wild goose chase.

I don't know that any official announcement was made. Most customers routers have it enabled by default so naturally those individuals figured it out pretty quickly.
