   This part of the world is not much better, but it is, because there is at least   
   1 ISP of the dozens available on our VDSL NBN that supports native IPv6 (and no   
   prizes for guessing which ISP I'm using ;) ).  As for the VDSL, well it was   
   originally supposed to be FTTP, but a change of government caused the downgrade   
   just before this area was due to be rolled out. :(  Now it's got rather   
   controversial, because many people are not getting the speeds they ordered.    
   I'm lucky, the node is relatively close and I'm not far off the 100/40 I'm   
   paying for (usually around 90/35 sync speed in practice), and 80/30 actual   
   throughput to nearby sites.
