The biggest complaint that I hear from ISPs, is that their upstream ISP does

Is that bull?
I thought the whole backbone is IPv6 now, and it is only the residential ISPs
that are still figuring it out because CPE are still not there yet.
Where can I get more information? Any list of peering ISPs that have IPv6 as
part of their products?
It seems to me the typical answer sales people say when asked about IPv6: "Gosh,
this is the first time I'm asked this one".
I've just been trying to persuade our upstream provider that they can
actually get IPv6 addresses. They seem to be operating under the belief
that they can only get IPv6 addresses once they're running out of IPv4
before going through the usual justification business. It seems bizarre
that they've specifically gone to the extent of testing and changing
their infrastructure to ensure it's fully IPv6 capable, yet not go all
the way and actually get a range or poll customers to find out if
they're interested in one.
I sent them this link :
https://www.arin.net/resources/request/ipv6_initial_alloc.html and
brought their attention to point 1. Yet to hear back from them..
