Main problem with IPv6 is lack of backward compatibility. You cannot "just use IPv6". If you accessing Internet you still needs to obtain IPv4 address and setup NAT if needed. Then optionally you can setup IPv6. Internet connection works great without IPv6 but is broken without IPv4.

My IPS do not offer IPv6. I asked him about it and they response that they does not have plan to implement IPv6. I understand them: for their clients (normal consumer) there is no significant benefit from adding IPv6 protocol.

I configured 4to6 tunnel for P2P tests... but it is already deprecated and Google complains about using it.
