As far as I'm aware IPv6 hasn't penetrated as far as it should, due to 
NAT extending the life of IPv4.

At least the Australian ISP's don't seem to be using it.

Although one is in testing to offer native IPv6 direct to customers.

ADSL router manufacturers are slow to implement IPv6 because the ISP's 
don't support it, and ISP's are slow to implement IPv6 because the 
consumer grade Routers don't support it.
