I didn't know where to jump in in the current discussion and what I wanted to discuss was quite general, so I thought I'd create a new thread instead. And the right move, IMHO! (FWIW) So, anyone saying IPv6 is ready for prime-time whereever IPv4 is used, has a very simplified view of the world.

I suppose you can individually configure every host to get itself temporary addresses from RA announcements. This isn't usually a good default configuration, but OS implementation already seems to be inconsistent on the default configuration here. So we're back to the IPv4 dark ages

I think that you've got a bit of a logic fault here. You seem to be assuming that because you can't find any external any sign of Verizon preparing for IPv6, that they're definitely not doing so. Maybe they are, maybe they aren't (your -guess- is as good as mine), but that process is not
