  • ISP Services IPv6 (Are internal services (eg mail server, support system etc) accessible over IPv6)
    Webmail and pop/imap servers are v6-enabled. Other services/portals do exist and do not seem to support v6, but I have no use for them.

  • Router - Downstream PD Support (Ability of the ISP-supplied router to provide downstream prefix delegation.)
    Routing of delegated prefixes is brittle. /64 seems to be the only allowed prefix size, and requesting more than one breaks routing. One also can't chose the exact prefix delegated to an equipment, or DHCP-PD request sometimes just fail. The implementation is very finicky.

  • Router Flexibility (Can users supply their own router, or are they forced to use the one provided.)
    The provided router can be removed as unofficial guides exist to do that, but configuration is a bit involved as custom DHCP options and values are needed.

    0
  • Router Port Control (Does the equipment provided by the ISP allow users to open ports.)
    The router includes a firewall which can be configured for TCP/UDP only. Enabled by default.
