Yes, every now and then I have a bit of fun phoning the sales lines of ISPs or
usually using their online chat. I ask about their facilities and although some
understand what I'm talking about when I ask about fixed IP addresses, they get
lost when I talk IPv6. Once in a while they tell me they can do it, and when I
question a bit further it is clear they haven't got a clue. With any luck
things have improved somewhat since I last was at a loose end and tried that. I
doubt it ever gets fed back that a potential customer (as far as they know) is
interested in IPv6.
I'm with Entanet so have both a fixed IPv6 and a chunk of IPv6 addresses and
native support on my router. I really need to get sorted on my website for
signing up being a reseller!
