This is really hit or miss (the configuration part of it) and it won't become really ubiquitous until it gets enabled on all consumer CPE by default. That said, I set up a recent Asus for a friend and it was nearly single-click easy on Comcast. Much improved since even 18 months ago.

This is also why ISP's prefer to rent you CPE and (preferably) manage it remotely.

This would in turn cause more content networks to support ipv6 - once even 1% of eyeballs can't hit revenue producing websites those customers will demand v6 or move IaaS/SaaS/etc. providers.

The CPE problem is why mobile has such good IPv6 deployment (along with the LTE people having their act together about IPv6) -- it's the only sector where people will eagerly upgrade their CPEs en masse :)
