I've had Frontier fiber internet for the past 2-ish years. No complaints at all, but the nerd in me desires IPv6. I have the Frontier provided ONT device but declined their router. I have a MikroTik RB5009 which has been "searching" for an IPv6 prefix.

Anyway, I found this link during my research some time ago, and it finally looks like Frontier is enabling IPv6 for people.

I'm still not sure I'll be able to get it until I get the settings just right, but thought I'd share.

There's a reddit user who works for Frontier who comments about IPv6 from time to time. What I've gathered from his comments:

  • It'll be a /64 prefix (confirmed by others who have already gotten the roll-out)
  • The delay has mostly been waiting on some sort of licensing deal for their equipment
  • The ONT needs to get an update pushed to it (probably done as part of the roll-out, but I don't know how to check)

What kind of router do you use?
