Well, from where I sit, it appears as if IPv6 is perhaps a decade away
from being available and maybe two more from being a "commodity item".

There is absolutely no evidence that I can find that ANYBODY is offering 
IPv6 Internet connectivity to end users.  Perhaps the backbone providers
have it on their routers and speak it to each other, but it sure hasn't
filtered down to anybody else.
