When will IPv6 work with Fiber to the Home under Gigablast?

Had IPv6 working when I was on a cable modem (coax), but after getting switched to Fiber (and a Nokia box), we do not get an IPv6 subnet.  According to this page, everything should now have IPv6...

What are you talking about?

I have a public IP.  An IPv4 IP.  

I do not get an IPv6 subnet.  IPv6 doesn't do NAT. All IPv6 IP's are public and routable.

I send DHCPv6 packets.  I never get an IPv6 subnet.

Mr.Coffee,

A DOCSIS 3.0 or DOCSIS 3.1 cable modem, WiFi Modem, or WiFi Internet & Telephone modem support IPv6 through all markets, though a Fiber Pon is not among those supported devices. www.cox.com/residential/support/ip-version-6.html does state "All Cox customers in all markets now have access to IPv6." though this applies to customers utilizing Docsis 3.0 and 3.1 and not Fiber ONT devices. At this time there is no information on when Fiber ONT and IPv6 will be supported.

    Good to know.  Dustin always has the answer.

    Perhaps Cox can add this clarification to their IPv6 Support page.
