Interesting to note that the Google IPv6 usage spikes on the weekend (and Friday to a lesser extent).
This suggests work systems are less likely to be IPv6. My guess is that it isn't home which is IPv6 but 4G mobile, which has been deployed entirely within the IPv6 era.

I noticed just this morning that Comcast had switched cable modem to be IPV6 only. Last week it was IPV4. There have been a couple of outages lately so I've occasionally been pinging google.com to see if my connection is up. Last week it pinged an IPV4 address, today it's IPV6.
As a consumer of the internets, is there any 'tangible' benefit I can hope to see with IPV6 from my service provider?
