This network was designed to deliver IPv6 to end customers. I am not sure 
it does in the pilot, but there is nothing in the design that prohibits or 
makes it harder delivering IPv6 Internet to end users (from what I can 
discern when I've had the design described to me by one of the people who 
designed it).

I would imagine it's a CPE issue primarily. As always.
