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!

If you do migrate to an ISP that supports IPv6 directly, the advice
from Vint Cerf is to let your existing ISP know that you're moving
because they don't offer IPv6. That way, we might actually see a few
more of them doing it. Or get a real Internet connection ; )
Seconded :)
I started off with a tunnel from my VPS to my linux box at home but
now I'm with AAISP Ive gone native, as it were...
