I've had IPv6 natively for 4+ years in San Francisco[0] on my residential cable connection. This appears to be one of the few things Comcast does right.

Without any extra effort the following sites (small sample from Alexa top 500) use IPv6:

* google.com

* youtube.com

* gmail.com

* facebook.com

* wikipedia.org

* netflix.com

Without IPv6 (no AAAA DNS records):

* reddit.com

* amazon.com

* twitter.com

* news.ycombinator.com

* imgur.com

* bing.com

* ebay.com

It's happening, slowly. ISPs who care are supporting it. A significant portion of my every day web traffic is over IPv6 and nobody has noticed. People on my local network are using it on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X and they don't even know what IPv6 is.

Google is clearly leading the IPv6 charge and has a statistics page[1] for those interested.
