Just adding another "real world" datapoint...  I'd love to get my hands 
dirty with IPv6.  I contacted both of our upstreams, Level3 and HE.net.

Level3 never responded, if anyone has details on what their deal is, 
please share (offlist).

HE.net wanted both more money and for us to order another port with them.

For the 0.0001% of our users that have expressed interest in v6 
connectivity, we're not going to pay for another FE port just to 
experiment.  I'm sure most other Tier-2 local/regional ISPs feel the same 
way.

If there were a free and "best effort" service offered by any of our 
upstreams though, I'd jump at it.

My buddy Ike over at NYCBUG does have a bunch of pictures of cheap 
consumer IPv6 home routers from his trip to Japan.  Apparently it's quite 
widespread there.
