If *they* want *me* to connect, they'd better use something that
lets me connect to them.

The fact is that Swedens largest ISP has IPv6 disabled by default
in the routers they send to their customers. And very few of
these customers even have the admin password to the router.

I read about one site that published statistics about the IPv4
and IPv6 traffic to their site. The IPv6 traffic showed a small
increase but close to none of that traffic originated from Sweden.

Users in general just don't have any issues with the current IPv4.
They can access Facebook and are happy with that...
