Anyone here actually ready for IPv6?
I know my router isn't, and I don't think there are that many that are, not unless you want to pay silly money (£100+).

IPv4: 4,228,250,625
IPv6: 274,941,996,890,625 @255*255*255*255*255*255
The figure in the description is 254*254*254*254*254*254

without wanting to sound stupid because ive done networking and i know a bit about ip addressing

is my router going to stop working at some point because of the change up to IPV6?

I doubt it, my ISP is using tunneling to ensure backwards comparability. In fact it failed today and my internet was soooooo slow.
