Getting IPv6 to your customers is good, but they still have to use it. 

If I look at my stats, I can see that the IPv4:IPv6 ratio for Netflix is 5.5:1, 
while for Google it's 1.1:1 and for Facebook 1.33:1 (peak-time ratios, when 
traffic is mostly from residential users) . The best explanation I could get is 
people may use Netflix from devices that do not support IPv6, such as some/most 
(not-so-old) Smart TVs. There's also the issue of some brain-dead wifi APs that 
filter or severely limit traffic required for proper IPv6 operation (multicast 
comes to my mind).

I'm not even mentioning the situation in the "pro"/"enterprise" world (much 
worse) since it doesn't (or it's not supposed to) generate much Netflix traffic 
(still, during the morning IPv4:IPv6 ratio for Netflix can go as low as 3.5:1).
