I can say that we (NTT) have been IPv6 enabled or ready at all customer ports since ~2003. Anyone else who has not gotten there in the intervening years may have problems supporting you for your IPv4 as well :) > Being that there's issues that leave us unable to get native connectivity, we > have a BGP tunnel thanks to HE (with a 20ms latency from Seattle to Freemont). You should be able to get native IPv6 in Seattle from a variety of providers. If you're not finding it, you're not really looking (IMHO). > Tunnels suck if not done correctly.

The tunneled part of the "IPv6" internet fell to the wayside a long time ago, there are stragglers and I have even seen people try to peer over tunnels in 2010, but anyone still adding that level of overlay (v6-over-v4) may find themselves in a world of hurt soon enough. - Jared (Curious about what incumbent carrier plans are for end-user - eg qwest, att, vz resi)
