IPV6 world day !

It seems quite a lot of people blogged aboutIPV6 day . It's true that it's always a good idea to speak about IPV6. I'm using IPV6 natively on my server hosted atHetzner (they offer a /64 IPV6 subnet, which is more than enough for a CentOS server hosting several xen domU Virtual Machines). At home, that's another story. I use aHE.net free tunnel to be able to reach ipv6 hosts. Yes, even in 2011, you still have to use tunnels to use IPV6 ! Why ? that's indeed a good question. Even if my CentOS ipv6 tunnel end-point/router/radvd at home is working correctly, I decided to ask my belgian provider if they had plans on implementing native IPV6. Well, not for my home connection, as I already know that Belgacom (the biggest provider in belgium) doesn't support IPV6 on their BBOX2 modems that they give to customers when ordering a DSL connection at home (while i'm talking about Belgacom, please stop sending me direct advertisement to my mailbox - the real one and not the electronic one - with your invoices about a service - VDSL2/BelgacomTV - that you *can't* offer to all your customers ... thanks) . So I decided to ask their 'professional services' because we have two 'professional and business' lines that we used at \$work. Long story short (to avoid explaining how much emails/cases I had to send/open to have an answer) : "no, even on the business lines we can't support IPV6 and we have no plans (*sic*, I hope that guy was just kidding or probably doesn't know the real answer ..) nor dates about future implementation of the IPV6 services/connectivity " ..

Nice .. now /me goes back to CentOS QA mode ...
