The statement at the foot of the article only commits to the network being ready for IPv6 by the end of the 2016/2017 financial year, which would be April 2017 at the latest, with HomeHub v5 users being enabled to use it some time after that, and a vague commitment to enable HHv4 users some time further downstream.

It's good to see they're finally doing something, but it looks to me that it is more likely to be the end of 2017, or beyond, before their entire network is both enabled, and using, IPv6.
