Yes.

(a) Using SixXs/ayiya. Geek problems (the SixXs geeky registration
interface, and the fact that installation is definitely not for
the general public). But it works very reliably for a single host.

(b) With my current ISP, native dual stack service via a FritzBox.
Worked out the box. Until it didn't, when the ISP admitted to switching
IPv6 off without warning due to unspecified issues with some customers.
Then they switched it on again without explanation, and it works fine
again. [Probably, the issue was MTU size problems with a well-known
CDN's nearest POP, which was across the Tasman Sea at the time; compounded
by Google's recent bad hair week.]

I've gone into detail there because for more than a year, my wife was
using IPv6 without knowing it (on Windows 8). But when the above mentioned
problems occurred, she noticed PDQ and did not have SixXs to fall back
on. So we had to disable IPv6 on her machine. Happy Eyeballs did *not*
conceal the problem.

No, sorry, only one link here.

No

Normally zero. I would plug in if I hit wireless issues.

Two to four (house guests get free Wi-Fi ;-). My ancient
printer refuses to break, so that is hard wired to a computer.

No

Let's guess 10. But the interesting questions are how many
routers, and will it be dual-homed.

No.

No
