your worry has very little to do with IPv6 itself. this is because
of the way we operate IPv6 today (especially in the States) where
long-haul tunnels and excessive/nonconsiderate transit is common.
another thing is that users would call customer support regardless
from the protocol type they're using. IPv4 or IPv6. there's no
difference.
