[ale] Comcast IPv6

[DJ-Pfulio]

I've had a DOCSISv3 modem from Comacast for almost 7 yrs. Every time I speak
with them about anything, I ask for IPv6 - at least 20 times over the years.
They manage the subnet on their device. I use it as a bridge for the subnet to
my equipment.

Concerning IPv6 - Nothing. NADA. Usually complete confusion has been the result.
I think they do it because I already pay them for an IPv4 subnet.
