Interesting to see the per-country rates[1]. France is up to 85%, apparently!

Anyone know why there is a high frequency signal on top of the long term trend in that graph?

		People connect through cellphones more on weekends, and cellular has higher IPv6 usage.

The more mobile traffic, the more IPv6. Have a look at India, it is not as if everyone has a fibre connection running IPv6.

Well, France has 99% IPv6 deployment through both mobile and landline these days

(2025, from 2024 data)

Reason that Google isn't seeing more is a) some BigCo v4 holdouts b) happy eyeballs sometimes landing on v4 because their v6 is shitty 6rd or something (e.g Free SAS)

6rd will soon get away to get native IPv6 instead. Also, 6rd is what allowed France to lead IPv6 deployment.

You mean that Free's ipv6 is not implemented correctly?

		Free has ipv6 enabled on 100% of their customers, and while sometimes their software has a few issues, it's working perfectly fine. People just get pissy because Free refuses to pay for peering with Google for e.g. Youtube, and it feels slower, even more on v6. The only ISP not putting out v6 widely is SFR, and thankfully they've gone bankrupt and we will be rid of this scourge.

Here in Belgium it's the other way around. we've had IPv6 for over 10 years for basically all home internet, but mobile is still ipv4 only. Not sure why since it's all the same companies.

		Mobile and fixed broadband is a separate infra/boxes (virtual). LTE arch with the PGW handles IP allocation to devices https://mobilepacketcore.com/lte-4g-network-architecture/

I'd however mention, the two biggest ISPs that remain today both have adopted IPv6 on their fiber connections. They're also heavily using CGNAT for IPv4. It makes sense, the volume at which they're working makes dedicated IPv4 very uneconomical.

		Even smaller ISP have done that. But I switched to JioFiber last year and it loses its IPv6 network every week for a few hours. Diagnostics tell me that everything is okay and the customer support just doesn’t understand the problem.

My home internet has IPv6 but my mobile carrier doesn't. IPv6 on mobile carriers is unfortunately still not universal.
