IPv6 should be the dominant protocol by now.  Too many companies at various
levels dragging their feet.

I agree.  Being forced to run CGN on IPv4 is an opportunity to offer IPV6,
perhaps DS-lite

Well, regardless of what ISP I choose, it's gotta come down the same DSL line. 
Can't wait for the new FTTN (was supposed to be FTTP until the current
government screwed it up) network to get here.

Not helped by borked IPv6 configuration on some websites.  Just last week, I
encountered an Australian government website that doesn't work on IPv6.  There
is an AAAA record, but their configuration is borked on IPv6 and it errors out
with a redirect error.  I was able to get on using IPv4 (disabled IPv6 in
Firefox), and after doing what I needed to do, I left them some feedback
pointing out the issue.
