Another aspect that flabbergasts me anno 2021 is how there *still* are BGP peering disputes between (more than two) major global internet service providers in which IPv6 is 'held hostage' as part of slow commercial negotiations. Surely end-to-end IPv6 connectivity should be a priority?
Even the DNS root servers are not 100% reachable via IPv6. I would think IANA would have some standard about reachability for root operators.
FWIW, I just was able to change my home office internet (I reside in the most densely populated county of Florida). The new provider sold me a dual stack connection, however when they came to deliver it, there was no IPv6 as promised. After spending almost a week playing phone tag, I finally got some one with clue. I was told they have no support if IPv6 and no plans to ever support IPv6 as there is no way to monetize it.
This leaves me in the same position as my prior circuit via the local cable co. (no plans to offer IPv6) but at least it's faster than the 2 meg up cable service.
Until IPv6 becomes provides a way to make money for the ISP, I don't see it being offered outside of the datacenter.
