Yes, I'm using Entanet. I've asked them to enable it, but haven't had confirmation yet.
I hope I don't have as bad an experience as you did.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an ADSL modem and a separate router with wifi + wired ports that support IPv6, where I can use the router with an FTTC modem?Draytek vigor 120 modem then a Linux based router - well, it's what I'm using. If you want router inna box, then there are many off the shelf - e.g. the MikroTik range. I understand these are Linux in the core with MicroTiks own front-end.
Another alternative might be a router/modem/wi-fi combo which as a 2nd WAN port (Ethernet) that can do PPPoE, so you move to using that when the ADSL is converted into FTTC with a supplied modem.
The Billion BiPak 7800 can be re-flashed with alternative software to support IPv6 natively
I'm happy to flash the firmware using openwrt or similar if that gives me what I need (my current router isn't supported by openwrt).That might be an easy option if you already have the hardware, however make sure it's up to the job of 100Mb connections - I understand some of the early ones were somewhat throughput limited.
I'll be sure to check. Thanks for the suggestions.
