Reliance Jio Fiber Static IPV6 IP

[Lolita_Magnum]

It changed thrice for you, here we had times, where it changed every week, or a few days, and surely I doubt you ever reboot your router. We perform scheduled reboot every second week.
In eu ipv4 via Ipv6 also has its own set of problems of you have never looked it up, compared to that dual stack is still a better way.
And as I said, a lot of services and application have yet to adopt Ipv6.
If I'm paying for a service I'd want it to work the way I want, and not find diversions. Finding solutions in office environment and doing the same shit back home is already too much of a bs to work with.

Do they atleast give a routed IPv6 prefix? or are they using ndp?

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Thankfully routed.

Thanks guys for help.

What about Jio refund policy / process upon connection cancellation after trial period (30 days) and after using 4-6 months? Their refund process is smooth or need frequent followups?

They will deduct 1000rs as installation after 30 days and refund either 500 or 1500 depending on if you took STB or not. Refund is usually done within 3 to 4 days post collection of router from your house and it will take more time depending on which bank you used to pay.

plus that /64 will be shared with other customers

Do they really share the /64 with other people? Currently debating whether to go with Jio(new in town) or stick with local ISP(they don't have v6 btw and also use CGNAT and charge 350+taxes for static IP)

Major problem is i use a Mikrotik routerboard which does pppoe(my isp gives all info) using the the bridged onu modem. I have seen posts jio offers no such option.

@cadddr /64 is basically 2 to the power of 64 ip address, so obviously each device including other customers will have a unique ipv6 address, but since it's such a huge subset, it's quite difficult to know which device has what, even if that includes other customers. This is same for mobile data.
There are problem with using JioFiber in bridge mode, with some also reporting that they are unable to access their jio router settings at all.
While, V6 is the next big thing, it will still be a very long time until it's adopted to 100%, and even if that happen, i doubt ipv4 is going anywhere.
As an everyday user, you will be fine with a CGNAT internet, it's useful only if you want to host a server that can be accessible outside or you use private torrents that needs good access for better seeding or for gaming on P2P based servers like GTA5.

This is controversial but, I have had a good bunch of ISPs that are CGNAT, but still give give moderate port forwarding which is good enough for online gaming, so in the end it's upto what you need to do.

That doesn't quite confirm if they share the /64 or not, most of my vpses have /64. Do they use dhcpv6 or slaac?(do we have a choice?)

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

No choice, it's dhcpv6, directly contolled by Jio.
/64 sharing meaning, eg, ip block
2409:4040:e01:5000::/64 shared among millions of users including you.
Eg2. Me living in one side of town, might have ipv6 2409:4040:e01:5000:a050:ffff:11ee:ffdd
While a friend on the other side of the town might have 2409:4040:e01:5000:d900:eeff:11be:ccaa
It's such a huge block, it's not something a person can just ip scan their way through.
So, I'm not sure what you are worried about.

 

[cadddr]

I am not worried about scanning, any box you put in the v4 will be scanned non-stop by shodan and the likes. If jio does share prefixes(i am assuming they use DHCPv6-PD) with customers, i can't set static ips for machines in the network, ideally would like to setup a nameserver for local machines, without using ULA.
