I know customer numbers are normally carefully released, but I expect
many people wouldn't mind sharing that out of 50,000 dual stack lines
sampled 10,000* did some kind of v6. I don't believe I have seen v4/v6
usage figures presented like this before.

I assume ISPs who provide their own CPE would see some v6 traffic from
>95% of customers, but that might also be an interesting 'problem'
area if anyone has looked in to it.
