Resident IPv6 Proponent
I had a thread about this on LET right before the hacks, I'd like to restart it now. I'm curious about how easy it is to get a VPS with IPv6 in certain cities. I already have several that I know about pretty well, but any you can help me find out more about is a plus. Here's what I've got (in vaguely alphabetical order), let's compare notes:
Atlanta: Iffy, only provider I know of is RamNode
Buffalo: Hahahahahaha
Dallas, Chicago, L.A.: Almost everywhere
Denver, Kansas City: Pretty decent availability
New Jersey: Good availability
NYC: Some availability, not many Low End Providers there so I'm not too familiar with it
Miami, Phoenix (PhoenixNAP): Good availability
Seattle: Not too much up there for servers generally, but what is there has some IPv6
My "coverage" of locations where Colocrossing operates is not "tainted" by them. In other words, yes, a lot of hosts operating with CC out of Dallas don't have IPv6, but since most other Dallas hosts do, I'm saying Dallas is good. A few locations I'm not sure on and would appreciate some help with are secondary Texas and California markets, Washington D.C. and nearby areas such as Baltimore, Philly, and Ashburn, and hosts in Ohio and Michgan.
Basically what I'm after here is to make up a list of cities such that if I need service in them, I know how likely it is that providers there have IPv6. I'm looking mostly for U.S. cities here, as most places where IPv4s are given out by organizations other than ARIN have found them to be too expensive and have already been forced to implement IPv6. Canadian cities fall under ARIN and I don't know much about there hosting/IPv6 situation, so if you know about them, chime in.
