How can I publicly shame my ISP into providing IPv6? I have symmetrical 1gbps fiber but the lack of IPv6 is laughable.

I love everything about them (Race Communications) but this is something that really gets under my skin.

There is nothing really you can do.

Verizon FiOS in NYC does not support IPv6 and does not have it on any public road maps. So I'm in the same boat 1gbps symmetric without native IPv6.

But Verizon FiOS does have IPv6 else where, including places in NY state for many years already.

They clearly have a reason to pause the roll out, but I have no clue what it is.

Looks like a pretty small provider - maybe just call them and ask if they will set up a tunnel or something for you?
Is there an advantage to use my ISPs tunnel vs another tunnel? I have an open case inquiring about IPv6 and can ask them via that ticket. But if there isn't a benefit from using an ISPs tunnel then I'd rather just save them the work.
