>I switched providers to get IPv6 support. It was pretty trivial.

Your use case is not everyone's.

I was forced to change ISPs recently and didn't have a choice as to which one (which is another, unrelated, issue).

I did some research and the ISP in question does provide IPv6 support for some customers. However, the sales drones I spoke with claimed to not even know what IPv6 was, let alone whether or not it was available in my area.

I'd say that has more to do with the exorbitant fees they charge for static IPv4 addresses than anything else.

As such, it's not always "pretty trivial" to get IPv6 on your ISP link. I sure wish it was.

Edit: Clarified my prose.
