I wonder if Glen considers a year to be "the near future"? I'm seriously questioning whether any ISP has actually done something to implement IPv6 locally. An email I received from GO towards the end of last year said that they "do not have any time frame when the system will be upgraded to IPv6" and that "all the network's infastructure [sic] needs to be changed".
Hoping for some positive results from another angle, but for the time being, using a tunnel broker seems to be the only solution. Smart Island, my arse.
