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.

It works. "There's only one thing left for you to do: Turn it on!"

DNS on Time Warner Cable here in Yuma doesn't support IPV6 either. My local hardware does but I had to move to OpenDNS. TWC had their DNS configured to sequential IPs on the same subnet anyways, so anytime there was any sort of issue, both DNS suffered from the same problem. Anyone know if there is any noticeable difference between OpenDNS or GoogleDNS ?

Which is fine. Because they are dual stack. You can get AAAA records from the ipv4 DNS servers.
