I am probably closer to consumer behaviour at home than most of you. I don't regard my home router as a vehicle for hackery beyond clue I can find on the end user public lists and rarely if ever even apply that, and I run stock factory billion code on my billion ADSL2+ home gateway.
I just enabled the ADSL2+ profile which had IPv6 and restarted. It came up immediately with a /56 and I haven't touched it since. I have been using it to SSH back home quite comfortably with an almost unmodified ACLset to permit port 22 inbound. This is on Internode, in Australia. So, while I fully acknowledge the reality is that for a lot of people, cable and other complex head-end systems needed change and the experience of going dual-stack can be painful, I want to assert IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE and I am proof by example It just worked.
