Those of us who use ADSL or (heaven forbid) Cable are kinda out of luck. I haven't yet found ADSL2+ CPE that does IPv6 over PPPoE or PPPoA out of the box.
Any cablelebs certified docsis 3.0 CM or CMTS supports ipv6. Your cable provider will have to upgrade their CMTS (line card swap) before you can leverage it directly on the cable in a consumer environment. DSL aggregation routers are challenge where again equipment lifecycle plays in to whether you're in a position to deploy.
(Billion in Taiwan has a device which they've stamped an "IPv6 Ready" sticker onto, but the IPv6 version of the software hasn't left the confines of their lab yet)
As far as I've been able to determine, IPv6 SOHO CPE is largely vaporware right now. And lets not even get started on residential grade CPE, that doesn't even appear to be on most vendors' radar _at all_. If anything useful is going to happen in this space, my guess is that it'll be with custom Linux firmware running on a LinkSys blob with no vendor support.
