The real question is when will the remaining Australian ISP's get
off their collective backsides and deliver IPv6 to the consumers?

The US is at +25% adoption.  There is similar technology used to
deliver the Internet in both countries.  We have ISP's in the world
that can no longer give each customer a individual IPv4 address
which should have been the point by which ISP's here delivered IPv6
to EVERYONE.  This ridiculous attitude that "I have enough IPv4
addresses for my customers so I don't need to deliver IPv6" forget
about the other end of the connection.

It's a absolute disgrace that ISP management here failed to invest
in a timely manner.  It is a absolute disgrace that you can't get
good advice about what CPE devices to by now that will be supported.
