<pre wrap="">[Speaking for myself]
Dear All,
I've been working closely with Orange for IPv6 deployment in Mauritius
for residential customers together with a small team of volunteers
including SM, Duksh & Yogesh. Orange has been offering ipv6 for a long time
IPv6 but only to business customers.</pre>

I think there is reasonable support across Africa for IPv6 to the
business.<br>
<br>
The main challenge is to the consumer, both to the home and
(especially) to the mobile.<br>

The main concerns with residential customers are:
1) Support for IPv6 in the CPE (untested)
2) BRAS equipment (not configured and not tested)</pre>

Do you have any idea where Orange are with implementing this in
Mauritius?<br>

I have a 30Mbit/s (FTTH) at home and just a few moments ago, we were
able to get my home router to get IPv6 via DHCPv6-PD with the Huawei
HG8245H modem. For now, we are using a /64. There are still a few
issues that need to be fixed, but it's going in the right direction.
Lastly, huge thanks to SM, who helped me debug an issue when I bridged
the huawei modem for ipv6, and used my tp-link archer c7.</pre>

This is great! We need more steps in this direction for all consumer
broadband service providers in Africa. It's not impossible, it just
needs commitment. And as you say, it has been done before. There are
a lot of people willing to help if you reach out.<br>
<br>
Now to the mobile providers. Where your implementation plans? And
no, no excuse that no mobile operator the world over has done -
several have, and at scale, I might add.<br>
