It's commercialy only available with VM broadband at present, but it's quite possible that won't always be the case. However as the recommended connection speed is 100Mbps+, then alternative providers aren't currently widely available.
Out of interest, why does the V6 need 100Mbps? What is it pulling down over that pipe? Surely the dedicated TV connection (coax?) is still the primary delivery mechanism.
