I completely agree. I get why line of business applications; e.g. billing, provisioning, repair, haven't been updated to support IPv6. But I believe that any network equipment vendor that is (or has been for the last 1-2 decades) selling /new/ equipment really has no excuse for not IPv6 not having feature parity with IPv4.
Here in Oregon, Frontier was recently acquired by Ziply. They're doing massive infrastructure work and recently started offering symmetrical gigabit FTTH. This is a brand new greenfield PON deployment. No IPv6. It took being transferred three times to reach a person who even knew what it was.
I've had similar lack of success with my municipal GPON provider. At least the people answering support tickets know what IPv6 is and know that it's on their future list without even being in planing / testing phase.
Likewise the Wave Broadband cable operator. No IPv6, no plans for it.
