I completely agree.

I get why line of business applications; e.g. billing, provisioning, 
repair, haven't been updated to support IPv6.

But I believe that any network equipment vendor that is (or has been for 
the last 1-2 decades) selling /new/ equipment really has no excuse for 
not IPv6 not having feature parity with IPv4.

I've had similar lack of success with my municipal GPON provider.  At 
least the people answering support tickets know what IPv6 is and know 
that it's on their future list without even being in planing / testing 
phase.
