[AusNOG] Commsday: Telstra moves business ADSL services to IPv6

[Jake Anderson]

This seems to actually be happening in real life.
One of my clients signed up for a new telstra biz connection today. 
Thanks to the wonderful telstra people signing him up for a totally new 
account and phone number rather than just an upgrade. I got to see their 
signup email.
It had these fields in it.
Note those fields are blank, but they are there at least

Customer LAN IPv6 Delegated Prefix:

Customer LAN IPv6 Networks:

If you wish to use Telstra's DNS resolvers, your equipment should be configured with the following IP addresses:
IPv4: 203.50.2.71, 139.130.4.4
IPv6: 2001:8000:101::1, 2001:8000:101::2
