So I sent an email over a week ago to ipv6req@networksolutions.com - and since I've only recieved the auto reply.
A year or so ago I did this and got very quick turnaround, but now just dead air (sent another email yesterday).
Wanted to see if others had the same results (recently) and any advice before I call into phone tree hell. Thanks.
As long as you're not 1 year into a 10 year renewal, you may want to consider just moving your domains to another registrar such as opensrs. Drawback of using OpenSRS is they don't do DS records for dnssec, if that's a requirement as well, I believe Dyn has a good service for this (or so I read in the OpenSRS forums).

Joker is a good one for that (IPv6 glue + DNSSEC) too, especially
because of their automated robot that one can easily push key updates to.

NetSol has been dragged through the mud on NANOG a few times in recent
memory, i believe the best bet is to 1) review the archives 2) find
another register

Yes, Dyn supports DNSSEC and will send the DS to the registrar and so
on. We'll also host the DNS using DNSSEC for you, but it's not a
requirement to use our service for this. (I'm delighted to hear that
people say it's good.)

Hi Brandon,
Check out Name Cheap. One has to submit a support ticket for them to
contact enom to add the ipv6 bits but that takes less than 2 days to
have in place.

I waited over a month before I finally got fed up and e-mailed nanog for advice. I was told to e-mail listen@networksolutions.com and amazingly, it worked -- within a day, my records were changed.

Not sure why you'd be worried about a 10-year renewal, any registrar
transfer just add on time to existing expiration, you don't lose anything.
OpenSRS does (now) have online IPv6 glue-record editing.
They can insert DS records by hand if you email into their support
department (assuming you are the reseller and you have access to their
support department, otherwise you have to work through your reseller).
Still, not as nice as online access, but it is workable.
This isn't true in ICANN-contracted registries. The maximum period is
10 years, absolutely, so if you have 10 years to go and you pay for a
transfer you lose the additional year's payment.

Oh, come *on* guys. How much does a bleeping domain *cost*? Under what
conditions does "zomg I'm gonna lose the other 9 years" actually outweigh the
aggrivation? Either you're paying $8.95 a year, at which point obsessing about
it for more than an hour costs more than the domain, or you;re paying $100 a
year for some premium support that you're obviously not getting - at which
point it's obvious you've made a bad business decision and you should cut your
losses.
(Yes, I know the *real* problem is getting your business offfice to issue
payment to the new registrar, and then fixing your internal procediures and
documentation to match what the new regisrar wants. and the other real
problem is that the registrar race to the bottom means *none* of them
do everything you need/want...)

You don't lose the other 9 years. You just don't get an 11th year if the new renewal date would then be more than 10 years out. For what it's worth, .ca (non-ICANN) works the same way.
For COM and NET only. Not ORG, not any ccTLDs, as far as I know.
