I'll chime in with a link to data:

http://www.google.com/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption

Looking at things, USA is at 5%+ adoption, which is due to the hard work of folks at Comcast (and other ISPs).

Overall google is seeing 2.5%+ of traffic over native IPv6.  in several cases IPv6 is actually faster than IPv4:
