May I ask who is your ISP? I had thought I remember you mentioning Cox cable
some time ago, but I could definitely be wrong there.

If it is, you may actually have IPv6, just not enabled (because they probably
won't do it for you, and want you to pay full price while not using /all/ of
their features).

Also, if your ISP provided modem/router are older, you could request their
latest equipment and they'll usually come update it for no charge (again,
because they won't just send you their latest stuff when it comes out, so you
pay their current prices while using their old/cheaper equipment, lol):

Get your money's worth! :)

Nick
