Customers have 0 complaints about IPv6.  0 Complaints since 2006.

Do customers ever complain about double NAT's?

    I completely agree.

    I get why line of business applications; e.g. billing, provisioning,
    repair, haven't been updated to support IPv6.

    But I believe that any network equipment vendor that is (or has
    been for
    the last 1-2 decades) selling /new/ equipment really has no excuse
    for
    not IPv6 not having feature parity with IPv4.

    I've had similar lack of success with my municipal GPON provider.  At
    least the people answering support tickets know what IPv6 is and know
    that it's on their future list without even being in planing /
    testing
    phase.
