The 'noise' on this plot of Google IPv6 adoption is interesting: https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

It looks quite periodic when you zoom in: at first I thought it might be different adoption rates in different timezones, but there's only one sample available per day so that doesn't explain it. Anyone know what might be going on?

It's higher on weekends and holidays, which is presumably connected to mobile devices having a significantly higher rate of IPv6 adoption.

You can see on the graph between March 10 and March 24 the significant increase in the number of people working from home by the proportion of ipv6 usage

You can also see the much higher utilization of IPv6 at the end of December that's pretty consistent for the last few years.

Not just mobile, the big US cable ISPs have been doing IPv6 for years. People go home and everything is IPv6 and they don't even know.
