We testing with a machine on our office network (and also on ADSL lines) how our services would work just using just native IPv6. We used an apple laptop, and disabled IPv4 and enabled IPv6. -we suspect similar results on an ADSL line - we'll test this later on. We want to ensure that all our services work over IPv6. This page has our progress and notes.

Here are some of the results:

On 6th June 2014 there is a campaign to turn off IPv4 for the day! see: secure.avaaz.org

How to do IPv6 Only

Some notes:

Sometimes it's easier just to turn IPv4 off on the computer
You will lose access to some sites if they don't have IPv6

Tested IPv6 only configurations:

A&A BT FTTC - Openreach Modem - FireBrick 2700 - Apple Computer

How to test

We have 2 IP test web pages:

Each will return your corresponding IP address.
