It's not just equipment vendors, it's ISPs. Here in Oregon, Frontier was
recently acquired by Ziply. They're doing massive infrastructure work
and recently started offering symmetrical gigabit FTTH. This is a brand
new greenfield PON deployment. No IPv6. It took being transferred three
times to reach a person who even knew what it was.
Likewise the Wave Broadband cable operator. No IPv6, no plans for it.
The big guys in my area - Charter and AT&T - can do IPv6.
But I understand that not every ISP has the talent to deploy IPv6. A lot
of people simply refuse to learn new things as they get older. The
smaller the company gets it can go either way: steadfast refusal to
learn new things, or jumps at the chance to learn something new. The
former will try to say customers don't want it or no business case to
hide their knowledge gap.
