    Mv> It is my understanding that in many parts of the rest of the world the   
    Mv> situation is different. Many poviders still do not offer IPv6 and there   
    Mv> is no competition between providers.   
      
   Here in my city in Canada my cable provider (Rogers) supports native IPv6 but   
   Bell Fibe (fibre direct to the house) does not.   
      
   To make things more confusing, if I were to buy cable internet from a reseller   
   (e.g. Teksavvy), they don't support IPv6 over cable.  If I were to buy fibre   
   internet from Teksavvy, they do support IPv6 but getting it to work involves   
   using your own router, SFP module & knowing how to configure it.   
      
   So Rogers Cable is the only "plug & play" IPv6 provider in my neighbourhood at   
   the moment.
