After installing a new router, I discovered that Charter is now providing IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to my router.
Been testing it a bit, and typically find that IPv6 provides better response time on pings and better throughput speeds, especially the more distant the source.
But it appears that Microsoft.com is yet to implement IPv6, as no IPv6 addresses are returned from DNS. The same is true for other "technology leaders", including Dell, HP, and IBM.
