Re: Try getting IPv6 from any major ISP's.

The major ISPs here, both cable and non-mobile telephone, have implemented IPv6 in most of the county, and in the neighboring counties. If the users have a modem from the ISP, they are being shipped new ones capable of using IPv6 as it is implemented in their area. I got a replacement modem from the telco (which is why I have a ISP modem, I can't get a 3rd party modem that will work) nearly two years ago and on checking had IPv6. My elderly aunt, two counties over and using a cable modem I got for her, got a note from the cableco that she had IPv6 available in her area a few months back, not that she had a clue what that was. As it happens the modem I'd got her can use IPv6, so when I checked her system she had IPv6 implemented, too. It's more and more commonly available, just not that useful at present as most sites that the puplic want to visit don't have it yet.
