IPV6 Mobile for WAN failover

Just starting to look at WAN failover options for home, I'm currently with Virgin and O2 unfortunately. I'm looking at a PAYG SIM to put into a Netgear LM1200 modem and then setup for WAN failover. What I'd also like is IPV6. I imagine it's basically EE or Vodafone?

Waiting for Toob to come to our local area if they ever do.

I used to be with Vodafone and regret moving to O2 for the mobiles, so it'll be a short/long 18 months following 25 years with Vodacom/Vodafone to then return.

I'm planning on initially having a 20GB PAYG Sim to cover things, it's Tado that has a fit if it looses internet connectivity, so will setup WAN failover only for a particular subnet.
 
Do Voda support Ipv6? Didn't know that. EE do as you've already said. I do love the fact Toob run Ipv6, means I can experiment with native ipv6 to my hearts content
 
My parents are with Toob and I've got a pfsense box working nicely with IPv4 (CGNAT) and IPv6. Wifi is provided by TP-Link S4 atm.

I'm leaning towards EE the more I've looked at it, I've ordered the LM1200 from Amazon today and will see if I can get a PAYG SIM locally from Fareham / Park Gate etc.

Traffic will be minimal, so will then setup the failover rules for an IP address / subnet

Similar setup here, toob with cgnat/ipv6 on an opnsense box (was a static ip up until last week, got rid and use ionos vps £1/month for its static ipv4 instead) and a unifi AP.

Let us know how you get on with your EE failover.
 
Interesting re ionos VPS. I'm sadly with Virgin for prob another 12 months :( 500/50 connection. Everything running nicely on pfsense + on ex Sophos XG hardware. I've installed Opnsense on a spare Dell R220 to look at again. Never got on with the Opnsense UI. Previously used Sophos XG Home.

Unifi stack and a spare Cisco CBS350 atm, Cisco is a much nicer switch, but out of the Unifi "ecosystem" I may ditch it all in the new year for a Cisco / Rukus setup. Currently running 48-PRO-POE, U6-Pro and a splattering of other unifi switches/APs

Parents wise pfsense on a Atom E3845 Pondesk box works nicely. What I might try is the Linksys hardware in AP mode / flash with Linksys retail firmware.

Will certainly see how I get on. If I get a working from home contract then I'd consider an unlimited SIM only setup or an ADSL option. I still have a spare Draytek Vigor 130 in the loft somewhere (should have sold it last year!) Requirement at the moment will be to restrict traffic to only the Tado to start with.
 
Well the EE plan will need to be changed as I didn't realise that they expire PAYG. What I hoped was to purchase 50GB of data and that would be that until it ran out.

Will have to look at something else, but will test with EE and then I won't be buying a top up at the end of the 30 days. I'll make sure I use whatever data I have bought though :)

What did you end up doing out of curiosity?
