I know it's going to happen and soon, in Australia there are very few
providers suppling IPv6, however when my provider does support IPv6 I will
make use of it.

I know exactly what your saying, some providers in the Philippines put you on
a private network on the lower plans, you get a dynamic IPv4 address on the
upper plans and you have to pay extra for a fixed IP address.
