The Managing Director (MD) of business ISP Fluidata, Piers Daniell, has confirmed that they will, by default, enable IPv6 for all new subscribers by 6th June 2012 (World IPV6 Launch Day). The operator has also been providing new connections to customers as dual-stack (IPv6 enabled) since June 2011.

This means that Fluidata's services will not require any IPv6 end-user configuration, which should allow ISPs to offer IPv6 Internet services to the home network and with no interruption to existing IPv4 services.


Fluidata is not the only UK ISP to be doing this and AAISP (Andrews & Arnold) has been doing the same sort of thing for awhile (here). We intend to take a closer look at the issue of IPv6 adoption among UK ISPs later this year.
