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 believe the point was actually "large, faceless, conglomerates that resell other peoples products are less likely to disappear than small companies that know that they want to do". I really quite miss Black Cat Networks - and Blue Linux... both were very good, services from both have now been shifted to mythic-beasts, who (so far) have been fantastic. (Oh, except the ADSL, that went to Nitrex, it's still with Nitrex, they have a support department that actually works, too).
Now, for native ipv6, as Adam said, AAISP is the way forwards, and if your router doesn't do native ipv6, then you can also setup a tunnel to their native ipv6 backbone...
Here in our flat we be have a AAISP tunnel and I have a second tunnel setup on various machines so that if I'm on the move I can have working ipv6 too :)
