Where is IPv6 Support for Cox Gigablast Fiber?
Cox, it’s 2025, and I’m here to ask: where is the IPv6 support for your Gigablast Fiber service? You’ve been promising IPv6 support for years. Your own moderator, Lisa, posted on the forums five years ago: "Cox has established an IPv6 Migration Program to make sure that all Cox networks, systems, and products have IPv6 compatibility so that when the IPv4 addresses are exhausted, we will continue our business operations without interruption. We are in the process of developing the IPv6 migration plan for all of products and services." That was half a decade ago. And yet, IPv6 support for Gigablast Fiber remains non-existent. This lack of progress is unacceptable, especially for a service marketed as a top-tier fiber solution. Many users have been patiently waiting, discussing the need for IPv6 support, and repeatedly questioning its timeline: IPv6 Prefix Delegation on ONT When Will IPv6 Work with Fiber to the Home Under Gigablast? Gigablast - IPv6 ETA We’ve reached a point where IPv4 is no longer sustainable, and IPv6 adoption is essential for modern internet functionality. Major ISPs worldwide have implemented IPv6, yet Cox seems stuck in neutral. Why is Cox Gigablast Fiber—your premium service—still without IPv6 support? What is the timeline for implementation? Your customers deserve transparency and action, especially for your fiber customers, who are among your most advanced and discerning users. It’s time to deliver on your promises, Cox. Let’s hear an update.
Packet Loss on IPv6
Hi I'm on Pano WiFi and has been experienced annoying connectivity/latency issues, most prominently in voice/video calls over whatsapp and the like. It is bad to the point when switching to LTE (with 1 bar signal) makes it much better. I'm positive that WiFi is fine, as I have same problems over wired connection as well, plus speedtest is happy. Today I was looking at PingPlotter and I noticed that there's huge packet loss when using IPv6, while IPv4 is fine: To verify this, I took my rooted Android phone and did "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6", which essentially disables IPv6 at the OS level. Verified with http://test-ipv6.com that it indeed got disabled and then checked problematic apps. I think this has "resolved" the issue for me. Now the question is, how to get a proper fix? I wouldn't like to go over all of our devices and disable IPv6.. Thanks
