The weirdest thing I noticed in the past was, that IPv6 via Tunnelbroker.net actually worked better than ISP-provided-native-v6, though I haven't tried using a tunnel in a long time.
It seems that IPv6 is a mere afterthought for most content providers

Sounds more like a problem with your ISP's IPv6 support than the content providers. It seems unlikely that someone would go to the trouble to add an IPv6 address to DNS if they didn't have a working server up. It's much more likely that crappy ISPs don't have their IPv6 infrastructure set up correctly.
But with work I have more problems. Some of our machines do have ipv6 addresses and AAAA records, but the IT-department-maintained VPN doesn't do ipv6. So I had to tell ssh to only use v4 in my .ssh/config.
It's amazing to me how far we're still from reasonably universal ipv6.
I'd bet you'd find more traffic was happening over IPv6 than you realised.
http://ipv6test.google.com/ or http://test-ipv6.com/ are way better
It's also not made for much traffic :)

Edit: I forgot about ct.filippo.io -- we're up to 3 IPv6 only websites now!
Road warriors get on via our ipv6 only openvpn servers. Works like a charm.
archive.is mirror, in case you don't have IPv6 yet (interestingly, archive.org fails to mirror this site)
Also how do I get a ipv6 based instance in a host like amazon or linode etc?
If your ISP doesn't provide IPv6 at all, then aside from switching ISPs, you can try getting a tunnel from a service like https://tunnelbroker.net/ (Hurricane Electric), although I've never used that service, only SixXS when it was around.
Who's your ISP?
If that says you do not have IPv6, then here are thing to check.
1. Check your computer to make sure it is asking the router for an IPv6 address. On my Mac, for example, it was originally only asking for an IPv4 address. When I changed the settings for my ethernet port to ask for an IPv6 address too it worked.
2. If your computer is asking for an IPv6 address but not getting one, check the modem or router provided by your ISP. On its settings or status page it should say if it supports IPv6, and whether or not it has got an address from the ISP, and whether or not its DHCP server is configured to let your computers have an IPv6 address.
3. If your computer and the ISP supplied modem or router all support IPv6 and are configured to use it, check any intermediate routers you use. For example, if your ISP supplied router is wired-only, and you have a wireless router of your own plugged into it via ethernet, and your computer gets to the internet via that wireless router, you'll need to have it set up to support IPv6 too.
Now it can't come soon enough.

Verizon tells me they have IPV6, but after talking with techs for over an hour, and going through 3 people that didn't know what I was talking about and were confused because "we can reach your ONT, so your internet should be working!", I finally got to someone who never set it up in my area despite telling me that it was supported.
I don't know what it means to be supported, but it sure as hell doesn't mean I can actually use it.
But i'm still peeved that they continue to tell me IPV6 is supported, but can't ever get it working, their equipment or mine.

Looks nice though, once I throttle connections.
