Wait wait wait...Comcast is using bad and/or incompetent infrastructure? Stop the fucking presses!

(I'm sorry sir/madam for your inconvenience)

Comcast has been at the forefront of offering IPv6 connectivity to their users.

Comcast is deploying IPv6. Verizon isn't even trying IPv6 with FiOS.

They have actually started working with business class customers this year. I'm still, rather impatiently at this point, waiting for it to trickle down to residential customers.

They have a landing page[0] that hints at the possibility, but I've never seen anything or heard anyone actually say that IPv6 is coming to residential customers.

They haven't bothered to update that page in a few years, sadly. It says "Dual Stack IPv4/IPv6 will be launched in various areas within Verizon’s FiOS network, starting Later in 2012. Check back for more information."
