The thing is - their customers will have to as well. Ye olde
Zyxel ADSL router doesn't do IPv6 (but it does the rest of the

That's the crux. And those modems are often supplied by the ISP, so
the cost would be on them.

In Switzerland the modem is paid for by the customer, but either way
there's an extra cost.

I have no modem here. I think most people who use Internet in this
city have no modems, I just have a socket for Ethernet cable on the
