Re: Frontier IPv6 Prefix Delegation - AS5650

It's really no different than regular residential service… I have an “actual” business plan here, and other than options for static IPv4 addresses, it’s the same crud just with a fancier price tag.

You happen to know anything about this?

Would it get me a /56 and real SLA / tech support when needed? Happy to
convert if so.

Sorry for bombarding you with questions- it’s hard to find people with a
clue there 😊

Yeah, I am getting a DHCPv6-PD, it's just a single /64, which is better
than nothing, but not great. I told support I'd be willing to pay, and it
sounds like it's something they don't, and aren't planning to offer.

I might even go to their business "home office pro" offering if I knew for
sure it would get me a /56 and an SLA and real human on the line when I
have an issue. - https://business.frontier.com/home-office-pro - but I
haven't tried poking that bear yet, not even sure anyone would be able to
answer the question.

Any way to get a /56 or more? Support is clueless.

Probably not unless you move to business service.
Although it does not hurt (well, your wasted time)
to try to convince them to change.

For residential, it seems most ISPs believe RFC6177
is more of an idea than a firm suggestion[0], and if you
want a /56, you need to upgrade to being what they
consider a business site, and, of course, pay more.

Comcast does offer a /60 for their residential
customers, but if you want a /56 (or more), it is
business class service, and Charter (branded as
Spectrum) only seems to offer residential
customers a /64 (I have not tried, but I presume
Charter will offer more for business class).

There is almost certainly no underlying technical reason
that Frontier could not offer DHCPv6-PD delegations
(of some size) to consumer class service should
they have decided to do so.




[0] There have been previous comments (rants?)
on the subject towards ISP's consumer IPv6
service before (including, of course, towards the
ISPs that are still not offering any IPv6 connectivity).
