the best way to debunk the 'myth' would be to find some
let me see now how about content, lets do some AAAA lookups:
Google - no
Microsoft - no
Yahoo - no
YouTube - no
Facebook - no
well, maybe that'll follow.. lets look for a v6 provider here in the UK:
VirginMedia cable - no
BT ADSL - no
Pipex ADSL - no
Tiscali ADSL - no
Talktalk ADSL - no
I see some carriers can provide me v6 transit or peering, typically
its bundled with their v4 offerings or at a reduced rate but other
