​Totally agree, but see below for what customers see about IPv6 from
Internode.​

​Nope. Fails with dual-stack.
Specifically the live stream, which does time and I assume ip geo-location
to determine which stream should be available.
With IPv6 enabled, it redirects you to the schedule as if there were no
current live streams available.
With IPv4 only enabled, it works just fine.

​I should clarify, it remains disabled on certain devices.​

I have been informed that:
"I don't care about your network voodoo! ​Thou shalt not interfere with the
watching of Masterchef on Tenplay!"

Apologies for the inline image, but here's a snip of the Internode portal
from today.
Note the "Unmetered traffic is not supported over IPv6".
And whilst you're directed to the "unmetered page" for more information, no
further information regarding IPv6 is available.
Therefore one must assume that IPv6 is metered.
