It shouldn't, if you're using a SkyHub.

Re: IPV6 Question
IPv6 addresses are dynamic, but they tend to be sticky. If you simply reboot your router, which isn't recommended with Fibre, you may end up keeping the address.
With SFUP you can get a static IPv4 address, but sadly this product is no longer available to new or upgrade customers.
