Dears,
Sahara
Net is the 1st ISP in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region to provide
a dual stacked ISP service on its Core.
A
few months back we launched a project to connect selected Business
clients with dual stack. This has succeeded so far but the demand
is a bit lower than expectations.
We
are now ready to provide dual stack to end users (residential) but
lack two things:
1.
User demand: Users simply don't see the benefits for this yet!
2.
CPE availability: Still many CPEs that are popular in the region
are not IPv6/dual stack ready!
Regards..

Hi Gaurab,
I know that many regional ISPs started
the effort towards dual-stacking their core, and a few have
reached this target, but I am yet to see an advertised IPv6
access service to residential users.

Hi Ahmed,
Well, to end-users (either residential or business users). Not at
an
ISP-ISP level.
