Your IPv4 address on the public Internet appears to be x.xxx.xxx.xxx
Your IPv6 address on the public Internet appears to be vvvv:vvv:vvvv:vvv:vvvv:vvvv:vvvv:vvvv
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) appears to be BSKYB-BROADBAND-AS , GB
Since you have IPv6, we are including a tab that shows how well you can reach other IPv6 sites. [more info]
Good news! Your current configuration will continue to work as web sites enable IPv6.
Your DNS server (possibly run by your ISP) appears to have IPv6 Internet access.

Sky have it enabled on older routers too. I have the first generation Sky fibre router, and it is enabled.
Repped 'cos you seem to have helped others get set up. Seems my router doesn't support managed tunnels and I still can't see the turtle
...on the other hand, my new router arrives tomorrow, so we shall see...
EDIT: Is that the time? I should say my new router arrives today!
EDIT to the EDIT: New router installed and working. IPv6 up and running

Looks like my provider supports and runs IPv6. Good news...or whatever. I'm not that good with all the network business.
Visited few websites that test connection, and they indicate I run IPv6.

Getting an IPv6 Tunnel is pretty easy with Hurricane Electric, if you have an old PC laying around and a couple of NIC's you can build and amazing router that will handle more traffic & features than anything that consumer grade, take a look at PfSense. Here is a link on the step by step how to.

H.E. Also have an amazing IPv6 training course, highly recommend it to anyone interested.
P.S. i am not affiliated with H.E., I just buy internet transit of them and highly recommend giving it a try.

BT Infinity here. My area does have IPv6. I can tell you that Elite definitely runs much better when I disable it on the router or the network adaptor.
Annoyingly, many other games and things work better with it on - notably Star Wars: Battlefront.
IPv6 in Elite would therefore be a definite boon.

You made me enable ipv6 now .... I feel dirty already!
However on the plus side my Xbox is now connected the proper way to XBL.

I spoke to BT yesterday to try and find out why there's no IPv6 address being given to me and was told categorically that IPv6 was only available to business customers. Any of you out there with it working are therefor imagining things, clearly
Jesus Christ it's only taken you guys 2+ years to put up a network connection tab to help people.
Given that this is a P2P game (and not your usual P2S) I am surprised it took this long ...
About [expletive] time ...!
yeah but the netcode dont work for the new beta - move back quick
Changing any settings would require me knowing what I was doing, which I don't.
It will remain as is until something automatic happens 8)
The packet header (containing delivery address etc) in IPv6 is 20 bytes bigger than in IPv4. Max packet size is 1500 bytes. So it will be at least 1.3% slower.
