mozerd Ziply Fiber’s support for IPv6 depends on the specific service plan you’re subscribed to. As of now, IPv6 is fully supported on their 10-Gig and higher residential plans, which include both static IPv6 and IPv4 addresses by default. This is because these plans use a direct fiber Ethernet connection, bypassing the Passive Optical Network (PON) systems used in lower-tier plans. For example, customers on the 10-Gig plan receive an IPv6 allocation (typically a /56 or /60 prefix) alongside a static IPv4 address, making it ideal for users needing dual-stack capabilities.
For residential plans below 10-Gig—like the 1-Gig, 2-Gig, or 5-Gig options—IPv6 is not yet natively supported on the PON infrastructure. Ziply has been working on rolling out IPv6 across all tiers, but progress has been slow due to provisioning challenges rather than network limitations. Their backbone is fully IPv6-enabled, and they’ve tested configurations in some markets, but the last-mile deployment and customer provisioning systems (inherited from Frontier) have delayed widespread adoption. They’re actively refining these systems, with recent updates suggesting a potential rollout starting in early 2025, though no firm date is set.
