O2 website broken for ipv6

[AndyQ]

The https://www.o2.co.uk website is not responding to IPv6 requests, despite having an AAAA record in DNS. Is there any way I can notify them, and will they care?

Message them on Social Media. Facebook or Instagram https://www.o2.co.uk/abouto2/social-media but probably won't do anything about it.

I will tell you now that IPv6 requests to the website will be so far down the Network teams list of priorities.

And where are you seeing the AAAA record as there are none published in DNS, and Im clicking a rando, link on a forum, to someones Google Drive.. 

This is from checking Cloudflare, OpenDNS, Authoritative, and many more..

There are some CNAMEs that lead somewhere

andy@Gertrude:~$ curl --verbose -6 www.o2.co.uk
* Trying 2620:1ec:bdf::64:80...
* Immediate connect fail for 2620:1ec:bdf::64: Network is unreachable
* Trying 2620:1ec:46::64:80...
* Immediate connect fail for 2620:1ec:46::64: Network is unreachable
* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

Thats odd as o2.co.uk doesnt present any cnames on IPv4 or IPv6 when querying o2 Name Servers n2.o2.net and n3.o2.net

It looks like a misconfiguration as that IPv6 address belongs to Azure, what DNS server are you using to connect.

A dig for the naked domain doesn't give any AAAA records (and zone origins aren't supposed to have CNAMEs). But a dig for www.o2.co.uk at 1.1.1.1 (etc)  gives

andy@Gertrude:~$ dig AAAA www.o2.co.uk @1.1.1.1

and a dig at n2.02.net give the CNAME (but doesn't have caches of the other data)

andy@Gertrude:~$ dig AAAA www.o2.co.uk @N2.02.net

I think you're right that they won't see it as high priority. And I don't have any social media accounts to be able to tell them anyway! So I guess I need to hotspot from mobile data (v4 only) when I need anything.

Thanks all
