virgin media port forwarding

Hi, I've seen few posts around, but wanted to check if anyone has any update. I am ex UPC now virgin media customer. I was trying to setup port forwarding, went to check my ip on the router and found that it's an IPv6 address. So is it true that port forwarding is not enabled in this case? Thanks

Yes, you need to be on IPv4 only in order to use port forwarding: if you need it, just ask VM to revert your account to ipv4.
