My personal view is I personally doubt there will be much movement for the next 5+ years or even more unless the "killer v6" app comes out or something major happens like Facebook only supporting v6 from a certain date. There are fairly simple reasons why.

Most ISPs have plenty of spare address space and the retail fixed broadband market is pretty static.
Even the new players like bigpipe and myrepublic have managed to get v4 address space. And those two didn't launch with a dual stack. Why was that???
It's been shown that even the new players can survive with CGNat in the days of Section 92 without needing to log everything I presume.

In the mobile space I can see it happening. But at the same time CGNat seems to be working for them too.

Adding v6 you now need to think about how big the prefix you want to allocate to your customers. Probably a /64 will be fine for 98% of your customers but some geeks may want something larger for various reasons.
Now that every device is addressable and no NAT involved it's a non trivial conversation about securing the customers network and / or making sure you have a capable firewall to only allow acknowledged connections.

Companies like SNAP have now gone and switched off their v6 stack from non trivial issues. So we should really ask them why they turned it off. As that would really point to why the uptake has been so low.

For the vast majority of broadband customers they just want to plug the modem in and it work. How is v6 going to have any impact on what they do?

So my real question is. Where is the demand to uplift the whole provisioning, support and billing to support v6 where there isn't the demand in this country where wages on average and technology demands are low.

I found some metrics and materials on http://www.ipv6.org.nz/, but they���re a bit dated (2013) and focus more on the volumes, rather than a list of NZ sites with/without IPv6. Ideally something like https://httpswatch.nz/ for IPv6 would be fantastic :-)

As part of NZRS' research efforts, the regular .nz zone scan checks if a
given domain name has nameservers, mail servers and web server with an
IPv6 address.

The attached image shows the status up to October 2014, and we have data
up to December 2014 when the last scan ran.
