The biggest complaint that I hear from ISPs, is that their upstream ISP does not support IPv6 or will not provide them with a native IPv6 circuit.

I know of a few regional ISPs that don't (yet) support IPv6.

As far as carriers go, some seem to support it readily, and others seem like they're being dragged into it kicking and screaming. With the IPv4 well running dry in some sense, the people who aren't supporting it yet will have to realize sooner or later that they're swimming against the tide.

It seems to me the typical answer sales people say when asked about IPv6: "Gosh, this is the first time I'm asked this one".

In some organizations, that's an organizational problem. In others, it just means you got the wrong salesdroid...
