Yes folks it's true, now all I need to know is what are the key things to do on the router to ensure i am as secure as I can be when using IPv6, anyone know?

According to message 6 in the BT thread link below you have to put it in PPP mode.
I have tried it on mine to no avail, still IPv4 only even though I was upgraded from 38Mb to 52Mb at the weekend.

Gradual rollout over 9 months. Just leave it in ppp mode for IPv6 and it will take it when it comes. It will only connect after a disconnect or reboot though, so do an occasional one to help it along.

Regarding the original question, I think making sure that "Block Routing Packet from WAN" is ticked for IPv6 is a good idea but I'm not sure what else can be done as I haven't really got my head round the whole concept.
