Re:IAB Statement on IPv6

In the UK, only one big(-ish) ISP supports IPv6, and 2 significantly smaller ones. BT claim to be pushing it out next year, but they still have a large number of older consumer-end router/modem devices which can't be updated for it, so it'll take another half a decade for those devices to fail and be replaced. Once BT have pushed it out, many of the companies that depend on them for varying things should be able to build implementations fairly quickly.

BTnet (BT's higher-end leased line etc. services) do support native IPv6 fwiw, but when I spoke to them (this was in Scotland) they said no customers ask for IPv6 to be enabled, and it's not enabled by default. (But if you ask them they'll do it no problem - verified to be true.:) But the situation is different with all that older consumer equipment as you say...
