My residential broadband connection here in Australia still doesn’t support ipv6. I email them about it every year or so to keep it on their radar, but “they have no plans at this time to support ipv6”.

So long as the internet keeps working, my isp won’t care. I set up a HE ipv6 bridge, but it adds noticeable latency whenever it’s used, for sites like YouTube and Netflix.

I wonder if we need regulation to force the transition. The move to v6 might never complete otherwise.

In China, all ISPs for individuals are providing a router with IPv6 support on by default. All major APPs are forced to provide IPv6 support by the government push. Let's see how the transition in China will go. https://blog.apnic.net/2019/06/06/100-by-2025-china-getting-...

I'm a little surprised Netflix worked for you over HE.net's tunnel broker. I got treated as though I was using a VPN when I used it (US.)

Maybe they have one endpoint that is reachable via ipv4 only and see that, while you have a HE.net IPv6 address, you still have a proper US telco giving you an IPv4 address?
