It spikes up 3-5 percentage points every weekend. Presumably mobile use goes up and computer use goes down.

Corporate use goes down and Residential use goes up.

Corporate networks were the last to drop XP, the last to drop IE, and will be the last to adopt IPv6.

That's not quite true. Even after corporate users have switched the government will still be on V4. The US military is drowning in IPv4 addresses and feels little pressure to switch.

Azure AD only got IPv6 support this year. Most corporate networks have not switched, whole most federal agencies have implemented IPv6(due to mandates), mobile carriers are heavily utilizing IPv6 and so are residential ISPs (Comcast and Time Warner have been deploying IPv6 since 2011)

Federal agencies turned on the Cloudflare flag that auto-translates incoming IPv6 packets to the IPv4 that they support for front facing websites. That checked the box and little progress has been made since then.
