Unfortunately I think Internode have stopped enabling IPv6 by default on
new customer accounts.

I understand the reason at some stage was they forgot about Netflix over
IPv6 when they decided to zero meter it. That was fixed a few months ago.

In the customer portal it says don't unable IPv6 unless you understand it.
That sounds like advice from somebody who doesn't understand IPv6 either.

Sad because of the effort put into it to make it seamless, and personally
disappointing to me because I took a discounted contract rate to work on it.
