 AA> Recently as in post-lockdowns?

Yeah, this was just in August/September that they were digging/drilling on the street and late September when they were asking permission from all of the residents to run fiber into their homes.

 JH> Though from what I understand Bell Fibe doesn't yet support IPv6..

 AA> Hmmm.. That sounds unusual.  I didn't know that.

I'm hoping that it might me a regional thing.  We're in a smaller suburb where the fastest we can get here is "only" 1Gb up & down.  My father-in-law lives a 12 minute drive away and can get 3Gb up & down.  So maybe different areas have different options available (like multi-gigabit and/or IPv6)?
