I don't quite understand their reluctance. The cable modems they're 
deploying are DOCSIS 3 and that standard supports IPv6. Unless their core 
network is in need of attention.

Hurricane Electric is on my todo list. I don't need IPv6 for the current 
two projects however I'll need it when I dive into ipfilter again, which I 
set aside for a while to work on two non-networking projects. Testing on my 
network here is limited.
