Switching on IPv6 itself is the reasonably easy bit. As with any new technology, it's the support that costs i.e
- Swap out all non-IPv6 kit so that all customers get the same level of service,
- Leave IPv6 to new customers only,
- If you have IPv6 compatible kit right through to the customer, how do you then support customers who's own kit isn't compatible?
- What extra support issues come with IPv6 that don't with IPv4 so that your staff have to be trained?
etc.
Not denying that VM do have a need to do it, but they've got to balance cost effectiveness against technological need
