Home internet service IPv6 traffic is all filtered even when using a Netgear LTE router. No port forwarding. Plz fix!
My background is in IT / networking and I started using Tmo Home Internet for the past 2 weeks. The router being shipped today to customers is missing very important features for power users - it act...
Just got home and pulled up the ASN info on my TMO HI.
It is the AS21928 ID I looked at earlier from work…
... the one with 12, 671, 488 v4 IP's assigned.
This particular 172.58.0.0/21 subnet has been reserved/announced since 2016 (was 172.58.0.0/15 for about 10 months beforehand).
So no... they didn't exactly become a V6 only network.
They have been maintaining active v4 IP's for quite a while... this particular subnet since 20160825. The history here dates back into 2012, where it notes a different subnet described as internet backbone.
Their TRANSIT may have moved over to v6... but they have maintained their v4 assignments.
And yes, the gripe includes the inbound traffic.. but there is more to it.
The geo data assigned to my v4 addresses put me out of state... which monkeys up functionality for some services (sometimes Charlotte, other times Atlanta--I live in Florence, SC). It is also monkeying with game traffic as well.
People have posted here those problems go away when going through their phones and/or hotspots.
In other words... the v4 subnets the "normal" cell devices are using have more proper functionality.
So again... they are perfectly CAPABLE of a better dual-stack implementation... but CHOSE otherwise.
