And you got better. You're clearly uninformed, and I can't change fanboyism.

"hardware doesn't support ipv6" - Sure, and it's all being steadily replaced
-
It's *not available* in some cases, certainly fixed wireless equipment. I made that point twice, FFS.
-
big ISPs don't seem to have any trouble with it
-
Actually, they do. Many large ISPs don't support IPv6 or are in the stages of moving over parts of their network right now. They're having huge issues. They're just not sharing them with YOU. For an example, Bell Canada still has no IPv6 support on their network, even at the business-classed fiber/ethernet level.

You mean like Aruba [arubanetworks.com] and Cisco [cisco.com]?
-
Those are not ISP-level equipment. Those are WiFi. Again, you fail at comprehension.
-
when the support guys realized that widespread v6 support would essentially eliminate all their "how do I forward a port" support calls, I bet they had to change their pants
-
Wrong. Now they have people calling them up asking how they get static IPs on their Samsung TV. And why their home security system doesn't seem to be working when it supports only IPv4. They want more outbound bandwidth for their fleet of home cameras and an IP for each of them, and they want it for free, including technical support when something goes wrong. IPv6 means you go from people trying to force you to support their shitty, poorly configured wireless network at home to trying to force you to support 50 devices that they want available on the Internet at all times with their own IP addresses. You clearly don't think outside your little consumer box AT ALL.

Maybe you get a jolly from shitting on v6. That's fine, go nuts. We'll all be over here using it happily, spinning up v6-only services in a few years, and leaving you in the dust.

Could you be any more fanboy butthurt?
