I was shocked when I moved to Stockholm in 2017 and could not get an IPv6 address at home.

Almost 8 years later, I still cannot get IPv6 at home.

The upcoming Samnet.se conference has a session about why Sverige lags behind other countries in IPv6 adoption.

SNUS.se (Swedish Network Users Society) published a report in 2022 that explained the problem and several solutions.

@Jeremiah There's this page which lists Swedish ISPs that have #IPv6: https://ispmedipv6.se/isp/
Ironically you need IPv6 to access it.

And totally agree, the situation is very sad. It's a low-priority item for them, since it doesn’t bring profits. Was previously an #Ownit customer, who said "we're working on it" for 12+ years, and eventually removed all mentions of it from their website.

@forst My building has an #OwnIt contract. I don’t even think I can get another provider independently of the building. I contact their customer support annually. They express an empty apology and hang up. Same procedure as last year.

@Jeremiah Same situation. We were force-moved to #Telenor back in September, which is the same AS as Ownit, same service, but costs more. No #IPv6 there either.
I have another choice, which is #Tele2, and they _do_ provide IPv6, however it's DOCSIS, so asymmetric speeds, and having to have a cable modem, which I try to avoid.

@forst Yeah, like, the fiber is there already. Just upgrade the way the lights blink. How hard can this be? 😜

@Jeremiah My current solution is renting a VPS and an #IPv6 PA /48 allocation, and tunnelling that over 6in4 to my home.
