It&#8217;s kind of like the Internet equivalent of a phone number, which helps your hardware and software to communicate with remote servers.<\/p>\n<p>However only a couple of years ago you couldn\u2019t escape the news of how the IPv4 standard was running out of addresses and this would eventually make it impossible for ISPs to add new customers without upgrading to IPv6 (related addresses look a bit like this: <em>2001:cdba::2257:9652<\/em>) or sharing IPv4 addresses between several users.<\/p>\n<p>However most of the major ISPs have a big stockpile of spare IPv4s and so the need to rush towards adoption was reduced. On top of that the hardware and software support (e.g. home routers) was also very limited. Since then IPv4 addresses have continued to dry up around the world, although hardware support has improved markedly.<\/p>\n<p>As such it came as a pleasant surprise when <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-86\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/bskyb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Sky Broadband\">Sky Broadband<\/a> confirmed to ISPreview.co.uk in April 2015 that they planned to conduct the first large-scale customer trial of IPv6 in the United Kingdom (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2015\/04\/isp-sky-broadband-prepares-first-uk-customer-trials-of-ipv6.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

The version number will also represent quite a jump for some SR101 owners, which would previously have been on <strong>v1.15m.3734.R<\/strong> or later.<\/p>\n<p>We have asked Sky to clarify precisely what new features are being added by the firmware and whether it is being applied to all of their customer base or only a select group. At the time of writing most people have not yet received the update, although those that have often also report a brief disruption to their connectivity as the router reboots itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 17th June 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a bit of prodding it&#8217;s been confirmed that the new firmware update, which contains some general bug fixes and improvements as well as support for IPv6, will indeed be rolling out across Sky Broadband&#8217;s customer base in the coming weeks (i.e. not just those on the IPv6 trial).<\/p>\n<p>But only those selected by Sky to take part in the their IPv6 trials will benefit from the related features (naturally), although we understand that IPv6 is planned to start rolling out across their customer base once the trials have been successfully completed (no ETA for that yet, the trials are only just getting underway now)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers of Sky Broadband have informed us that the ISP is pushing out a new firmware update for their &#8220;Sky Hub&#8221; SR101 broadband routers, which appears to finally add support for the new &#8220;new&#8221; IPv6 Internet addressing standard that Sky plan to trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[88,66],"class_list":["post-9450","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-ipv6","tag-sky-broadband"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
