You can't. You can't even find out if it's CURRENTLY enabled, except by trying to use it.

Well right now you can ping me and I will look it up for you.  But we are working on a webpage to add to www.comcast6.net so you can check yourself.

 

The CMTS your connected to is a Cisco CMTS, at this time Cisco CMTS's are not supported for CPE IPv6.  You can look at a post we have done earlier.  http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Connectivity-and-Modem-Help/IPv6-Timeline-in-Portland-Oregon/m-p/130567...

That area is a Cisco CMTS area and like the above it not supported at this time.

Anyone else find it strange that Cisco, whose equipment powers most of the internet, hasn't updated their CMTS for IPv6.  (It's actually a Scientific Atlanta CMTS that became Cisco when they bought SA.)

They've probably been concentrating their efforts on the backbone routers. There's not much point in upgrading periphery devices if the backbones can't handle it.

Comcast only supports dual stack IPv6.

Your modem and router must also support it.

FWIW, they do still have 6 to 4 relay servers out there.
