There used to be a great isp called blackcat that did support ipv6...dunno what happened to them though :)
They went the way of all private companies. Sold. That's one reason why I feel it's better to deal with common ownership ("asset-locked") cooperatives if you can - at least if they disappear, it's usually into another cooperative.
So you're better off using a co-op that still hasn't implemented what a private company had over 5 years ago? That has possibly been the daftest explanation trying to speak in favour of using a co-op that I've heard in a very long time.
I'm not interested in what their underlying network is or who runs it, that's their choice. The simple fact is that they are re-selling the same services that were available nearly 10 years ago with no innovation or investment by the sounds of things (and to make it worse, surely if they are dealing with reselling a private companies products then you are no better off than dealing with the private company directly?).
Anyhow, for current ipv6 connections and an isp with good policies i'd suggest Andrews & Arnold http://aaisp.net.uk/ (and also http://sod.ms/ ) they have a slightly bizarre usage cap but make up for it with ipv6 support and having what i'd regard as a very good position on privacy and censorship and also offer support via irc. I'm currently thinking about migrating my service to them.
