| If your ISP is assigning you a single IPv6 address, they are doing IPv6 wrong. You should be getting your own /56. |

Even if most ISPs were just giving users a /128 address (which to be clear, is very much not the case), that would not be some kind of failure of IPv6. | |
| ▲ | gspr 6 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Plenty of ISPs do it right (examples: my last 3). That the parent poster's apparently doesn't isn't an argument against the technology their ISP fails to deploy correctly. Reality is that lots of ISPs do this right. And have for a very long time. |

| ▲ | bigstrat2003 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Even a /64, while wrong, would be a significant improvement over IPv4. |

| Your ISP assigns you a single dynamic /128? Which ISP is that? |
| |
| ▲ | post-it 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | My ISP (Bell Aliant) doesn't support IPv6 at all. Rogers though, for example, assigns you a /56 block but it's dynamic. |

| Is the argument that there are no benefits to IPv6 for anyone/society because your specific ISP messes it up? |
| |
| ▲ | post-it 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Of course not. The argument is that the benefits are nebulous. | | |
| ▲ | gspr 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | ... if you use ISPs that don't deploy the technology correctly. Faced with multiple providers of a technology, are we to judge its benefits by the worst ones? |

| Right, but just because you don't happen to have IPv6 right now, how does that remove the benefits for others to have IPv6? That's like saying having a faster CPU wouldn't mean faster performance, because I don't have that CPU yet. |
