Elbonia | kudos to comcast It looks like they're doing this right. I've always heard bad things about Comcast, but here they have informative FAQs and offer to cooperate with customers to make this necessary change work.

The bad things you have heard about Comcast are true.
They are large company that is truely disconnected from their customers, they are one of the higher priced cable companies, and they only higher the techs you can get with lowest wages. Their techs are horrible.
Comcast is not doing IPv6 to be a pioneer. They are not doing it appeal to customers.
The only reason they HAVE to implement IPv6 is IPv4 addresses are running out and everything they have from your phone, to each set top box, to your cable modem needs it's own IP address. When you multiply that by the number of customers they either have then they have no choice but to go to at least a hybrid IPv6/IPv4 system or to do some fun network setups to share IPs.

Being the leading company in the U.S. that is installing DOCSIS 3.0, then upgrading customers from 6/1 to 12/2 and 8/2 to 16/2 for free is wrong! Clearly they are disconnected from their customers and have no interest in their customers.

This would appear to be a case where Comcast's goals/desires and plans intersecting with a group of their customers and doesn't hurt their other customers. If they are deploying IPv6 for their on reasons and I still benefit, I still benefit. You could make the same argument about DS3 rollout. It benefits Comcast and me.
Judging by the later plans, where I see this going is that customers will be able to have their own IPv6 addresses natively, and share ipv4 addresses. Hopefully by the time we get there, the world is more much of a ipv6 everything place.
