[Community-Discuss] v6 finally working from Cameroon and more

[Stephen Honlue]

Hi @Willy,

That is good, I hope others will follow, firstly the Universities as you
said, consider talking to them individually(we can make a plan), to my
knowledge, all of them are connected via Camtel, and some are even
tunneling.

Camtel should also strategise to push v6 to customers, because most of
these clients do not care, they just want Facebook to be accessible.

Again, good work, and I think, @AFRINICtraning should give priority to
those not having v6 yet, so as to get them on board :)

Regards,
