We're providing it to retail customers today upon request. We have 
support over DSL and dialup as well, within our on-net footprint. In the 
future (once the adtrans support it! most of our customers are IAD 
customers) we'll be issuing it by default. It's similarly available on 
our internet T1s and colocation.

We are multihomed on IPv6 from multiple upstream providers.


IPv6 is here.
