APNIC reminds us that "there are now a large number of ISPs, data centres, cloud services, and software that now support IPv6" and "enabling IPv6 can be as simple as clicking a button on your WiFi router."
I turned it on, with Comcast I received an IPv6 route but no DNS server. Fortunately, Google Public DNS has unmemorable addresses, which I was able to configure manually.
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
It works. "There's only one thing left for you to do: Turn it on!"
[ ed: What are the alternatives to Google's Public DNS? ]

Had to turn off ipv6 on some friends' equipment for awhile. Local service providers hand out ipv6 addresses but don't actually route them, and their technical staff doesn't understand it enough to do anything.
On the plus side, for 30-45 minutes of work I talked an ISP into 30 days free service to compensate for them not having internet for 2-3 days. Got paid with home-cooked dinner and $50. :)
