Was it switched on for the service per:

http://www.internode.on.net/news/2012/01/261.php

Not only did we make it so that IPv6 in its entirety could be switched on
and off for the service, when it was switched on, I'm pretty sure we made
it so that the BRAS would only negotiate IPv6 if the CPE asked for it.

That eliminated a lot of the risk that IPv6 negotiation would cause a CPE
to fail (the CPE had to ask for it, and then fail to handle it when it got
what it asked for), and if the CPE was really broken, IPv6 could be
switched off on the service if really necessary.

It's on
