I did a presentation at the last RIPE meeting:

It rather sad.

ebay-kleinanzeigen.de has IPv6 since June 5th 2012. Not everything will
work because they use an eBay CDN in the backfround.

Mine has. but they break PMTU discovery.

Yes. And not much is changing on the content side. And people setting up
new (wireless) access networks and ignoring IPv6 completely.

Yes. And complaining doesn't help. I think that twitter support not
answering my question about IPv6 support is the most honest answer I
got. I tried to update my RIPE presentation an came up with an empty
slide.

They will not care. You may get a lot of promises but no IPv6. I've
given up. Don't let me start about universiies.
There are some exceptions, at least on German car manufacturer is
seriously working on this.
I guess we have to wait two or three versions of Windows an MS will make
IPv4 an additional feature which you have to pay for. ;-)
