Maybe because these "IPv6 ready" CPEs were not as ready as was claimed after all? Here several IPSs have made a false start because they ran into problems with IPv6 anabled on the CPE. So it was quickly rolled back.

Hmmm...

Do they have "zwangsrouter" in Austria? If so, you may not be in a position to avoid it..
