Sadly, the contract is bound up in arrangements covering telephony as
well, so it would be quite expensive to change providers. There's only
one ISP in this area that has IPv6, and it's even owned by our current
ISP, but the parent company is in no rush to deploy v6. They do
acknowledge the importance, yes, but it's not considered commercially
important. (When will it? I don't know. Even when it's all in the
news, like with the IPv4 address exhaustion in Feb 2011, nobody seemed
too concerned.)
It's off-topic for this list, but I would be very curious to know how
much extra, on average, people would pay in order to get an IPv6
netblock. Maybe it really isn't commercially important.
