Sadly, the contract is bound up in arrangements covering telephony as well, so it would be quite expensive to change providers. There's only one ISP in this area that has IPv6, and it's even owned by our current ISP, but the parent company is in no rush to deploy v6. They do acknowledge the importance, yes, but it's not considered commercially important. (When will it? I don't know. Even when it's all in the news, like with the IPv4 address exhaustion in Feb 2011, nobody seemed too concerned.) It's off-topic for this list, but I would be very curious to know how much extra, on average, people would pay in order to get an IPv6 netblock. Maybe it really isn't commercially important.
