Yeah that sucks. Then again, sounds about like what's been going on with my ISP as well up till recently. I believe they (TWC) were one of the first to jump on the IPv6-day bandwagon even. Huge supporters of it, yet they're a big enough company they could stretch it out as long as they possibly could while making as much money as they could before rolling it out, probably.

Sounds like here as well. TWC was bought out be Comcast last year. They said something in the lines of by the end of the year my bill would be coming from them, etc.. and hasn't happened yet. :)
