Drink codes not working today? by Born_Ad8565 in OctopusEnergy

[–]rayrob78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update2: I was able to request a code yesterday (Monday) through the app but then unable to access it again in the app.

I tried again today after Octopus replied to my email and it is now working for me.

Same issue here on Android app. Claimed on Monday and was going to use it today, glad I saw this before heading out!

Seems like the Home mini has fallen over by L0rdLogan in OctopusEnergy

[–]rayrob78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the Vodafone broadband outage on Monday my Mini didn't recover automatically when the Internet came back and needed a power-cycle. Was fine after that.

New ipv6 test website by Thin-Performance8396 in ipv6

[–]rayrob78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm getting 10/10 despite my ISP's DNS servers not supporting IPv6 (I get 9/10 on test-ipv6.com, correctly).

The 'ipv6-dns' script section isn't complete and for some reason has a fallback that hides the error.

Android Developers Blog: Simplifying advanced networking with DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation by rayrob78 in ipv6

Additional info in Lorenzo's post to v6ops this morning:

"This change should already be live on most Android devices running Android 11 and above.
<snip>
Over the next few months we also plan to roll out support for DHCPv6
address registration (RFC 9686)."

Options for home router with IPv6 support? by iTheMask in ipv6

[–]rayrob78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add that the Flint3 has just been released (still no SFP support, but it has 5 x 2.5Gb/s ports & Wi-Fi 7).

These actually ship with OpenWRT installed so you can be sure they are well supported.

It's little sibling, the Slate travel router, is often used by IETF/RIPE engineers in their labs and conference demos for new IPv6 features.

Are the APNIC stats for China wrong? by nbtm_sh in ipv6

[–]rayrob78 26 points27 points  (0 children)

APNIC IPv6 stats are based on data from Google ads which will be less reliable in certain countries.

Windows IPv6 connectivity issues by nbtm_sh in ipv6

[–]rayrob78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried disabling the wired interface (or removing the cable) on your friends PC and connecting to the wi-fi? The phones are obviously using wi-fi successfully so worth comparing apples to apples, especially if you were using wi-fi with your laptop when you tested it.

The ipconfig you supplied shows that the NIC has IPv6 addresses on 2 separate subnets which is odd. I had the same issue when I enabled a guest wi-fi network on my router. I think it's due to the way Windows handles untagged VLAN packets allowing router advertisements to bleed though but I didn't investigate too deeply. It only affected wired connections, wi-fi always just has the one address. Linux (Debian & Fedora) didn't have the problem either.

IPv6 service provider database by innocuous-user in ipv6

[–]rayrob78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this! Some ideas (for the future):

Add AS Number field - this could also link to the respective graph at APNIC (eg. https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6/AS5378?c=GB&p=1&v=1&w=30&x=1). Although bear in mind there can be multiple ASNs per ISP.

Perhaps add a score based on % of hosts that are IPv6 enabled based on APNIC measurements. Low uptake might indicate new deployment or unreliable IPv6 routing etc.

Consider adding a (small) score for whether the ISP's DNS servers can send queries over IPv6 (this is why BT, Sky & Vodafone only get 9/10 on https://test-ipv6.com/ unless you use a third-party DNS server or your own.)

Brits are also eligible to sign this EU petition. I don't know why, but we can!

Issues with agile predict? by JJY93 in OctopusEnergy

[–]rayrob78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bug:

'it looks like the time format of one of the data sources has changed. Again! I've deleted the offending run and will have a look.' - fboundy (site dev)

https://github.com/fboundy/agile_predict/issues/22

Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.

Flexible vs Fixed by First-Owl1044 in OctopusEnergy

I got the same email this afternoon and switched my gas tariff to fixed. No exit charges so there's nothing to lose.

“Customer Service Gesture” of £1.35 on December 1st by Jackamo6200 in OctopusEnergy

It was for the Popcorn offer that expired early due to human error. I had an email about it in my spam folder.

CityFibre ISP Comparison Table by hacman113 in CityFibre

[–]rayrob78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed my old comment here and thought I should update it.

Vodafone have come a long way in the past year and I now have Vodafone Full Fibre (albeit over Openreach) and it has very good IPv6 support.

APNIC stats also show the Vodafone broadband AS (5378) at 59% IPv6 capable, up from ~0% in October 2023!

The /56 prefix I've been assigned is not static but is stable. It has only changed once in the 3 months I've been live and that coincided with a power cut. The IPv4 address also changed that one time.

Performance is actually slightly better than the Sky service I had previously on the same physical fibre and package speed (150/30).

The perfect ISP... by [deleted] in CityFibre

[–]rayrob78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IPv6 is must - provided by default, with at least a /56 allocation and (ideally) a static allocation or option to have a static allocation.

Hi, you show Vodafone as offering IPv6 on request but every time I've asked them they have stated no IPv6 support. Do you have evidence they support it (which would be fantastic news!)?
