Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi Noel (and all), I think 
Noel has proven that his personal usage of IPv6 is small. I don't think 
anyone can argue that. I know that although I see a lot of sites there 
in Noel's list that are familiar, my IPv6 usage would be much higher in 
terms of volume - my kids have managed to burn through a 150GB quota 
several times, and they do it through a mix of YouTube and ABC iView 
(iView isn't unmetered for me on IPv6). I also have a natively IPv6 
connection (through Internode), though this is about to change as I 
change ISPs, I will be seeking a tunnel provider if I can make it work 
on my router. As a rule, I don't see any significant performance issues 
(or significant benefits) when using IPv6 (I can easily enable and 
disable it as I wish on my PCs, and I have a <10Mbps ADSL2 connection). 
I do know that I absolutely need IPv6 for some services that I consume 
at present (one of my corporate VPN solutions requires IPv6, and 
although it will tunnel it over IPv4 if necessary, that has a 
significant performance impact - it is the exception that proves the 
rule I mentioned). I might try to set up some monitoring to check my 
usage - as per Noel's individual results, my results won't be 
statistically significant for the general population, but I will 
hopefully be able to add another data point. The people who can give 
useful stats are our ISPs and CSPs (IXs too perhaps?), who have 
significant aggregate traffic stats they can view and interpret.

I've now deployed IPv6, so clients can get IPv6 if they ask for it.
Some of our upstream providers don't offer IPv6 support but I do have 
alternatives that I can deploy if clients really need IPv6 support right 
away.
It comes down to clients requirements, that and I don't want to spend 
money where I don't need to.
As demand grows i'll role out IPv6 across our entire hosting environment.
