Thanks for your comments timlocke.
At the moment, the deployment is limited to a /64 PD. In the future, we are looking at other options to provide more flexibility to our customers.

I've been watching the thread on DSL Reports, and see that most areas have been upgraded to IPv6. However I noticed everyone who has IPv6 has their modem in bridge mode and is running a 3rd party router. I have the CGN3ACSMR and my computer is not picking up an IPv6 address. Will Rogers release a firmware update that allows the CGN3ACSMR to use IPv6 now that the network has been upgraded?
The CGN3ACSMR like all Hitron modems is compatible with IPv6 in both bridge and eRouter mode. In order to use it with IPv6 in eRouter mode without a 3rd party external router, it first requires a factory reset (through the GUI). Your wireless network, security settings and other parameters will need to be reconfigured after.
If your area has been enabled for IPv6, this should be sufficient for your computer to then gain access to IPv6.

I'll keep mine in bridge mode with my own dlink until Gigabit comes to my area and then see what to do. ( My dlink router can do gigabit at the LAN side but I bet it can't do it at the WAN side reliably!
You are right. Most consumer routers, except the higher end models, are unable to sustain gigabit speeds from WAN to LAN. This is especially true when software processing is required (to perform IPv4 NAT or port forwarding for example).
Native IPV6 is up and running in West Ottawa today (Wed 20 Apr 2016).
Interestingly, OpenDNS does not offer the same protections on IPV6 as it does with IPV4. From the OpenDNS site:
Note: IPv6 support in the OpenDNS Sandbox is limited to standard recursive DNS initially. Additional functionality, like Web content filtering, malware and botnet protection, phishing protection, and more will be available on different IPs when IPv6 support is added to the OpenDNS Dashboard. We have no plan to ever shut down or change the default features for the sandbox IPs.
The OpenDNS Dashboard does not have any indication of IPV6 capability, so, at the present time, if you prefer to use OpenDNS for its DNS resolving speed as well as for Web content filtering, malware and botnet protection, phishing protection, you will need to keep using IPV4.

Will people with the Cisco DPC3825 in bridge mode and using their own routers be able to receive an IPv6 prefix or will they need to trade it in for a Hitron Router?
As far as I'm aware, no the Cisco DPC3825 is not and will not be supported for IPv6.
Just to add this, there is no mention of IPV6 on the 3825 datasheet. The question of whether or not the 3825
will support IPV6 when its running in Bridge mode is an interesting question however. Does the modem have
to necessarily support IPV6 for its own operation when all its doing is passing the data packets on to an IPV6
capable device?
There are effectively requirements on both the Cable Modem and the Gateway to support IPv6.
Since the DPC3825 has not undergone the required certification, it won't be support IPv6.
I am not privy of the rules for exchanging modems (this is not a technical question) but I don't see this being an issue.
The rollout should be on the entire footprint. I just can't speak of schedule at this point but I don't see this being too long.
All gateways are factory reset during refurbishment and therefore are enabled out of the box.

@RogersDave any insight on whether the Fido CGN3AMR has been certified for V6? There is still no V6 on the Fido network (I check daily), however wanted to know if roll out will happen soon after Rogers. Or we have to wait for the long haul if certification has not completed.
Our teams are working around the clock on this deployment. I can't provide an exact schedule but stay tuned it should be there shortly.
