I have a fritzbox and internode
put @ipv6 into the username field (i think they default to ipv6 for new 
customers now?)
and then everything was automatically working on ipv6.
my 11.10 install uses ipv6 for freenode and I presume other stuff, my 
wifes android phone gets a v6 address and does v6 browsing again out of 
the box, her windows 7 machine does the same.

 From an end user perspective the only thing i had to do was ask for 
ipv6 and since then its been completely transparent.


The biggest issue I can see is the firewall now really needs to be a 
firewall, NAT provides a great deal of protection for end user 
computers, if somebody finds a way past a billion ipv6 firewall in a few 
years then bad things could be happening shortly afterwards.
