Very true. Telling people to turn off IPv6 support through their customer
service portal is completely infuriating for those that can't get IPv6
through their ISP and need it.

Yes but HE doesn't serve residential users directly. To a normal person HE
is no different than NTT/GTT/Verizon/Sprint/Any other transit carrier. They
may move the most v6 traffic, but Comcast is the largest ISP actually
getting v6 to end users.

I don't remember the source, but I do remember that even with Comcast's
deployment, HE still represented the majority of IPv6 traffic in the US.

Of course, it could just be a bunch of us heavy IPv6 users.

Comcast is near 100% on their DOCSIS network (Busniess and residential).
That should be the largest single ISP for IPv6 for end users in the USA.

Depends - how many US users have native IPv6 through their ISPs?

If I remember correctly (I can't find the source at the moment), HE.net
represents something like 70% of IPv6 traffic in the US.

And yeah, not doing that - actually in the middle of an IPv6 project at
work at the moment that's a bit important to me.

The information I'm getting from Netflix support now is explicitly
telling
me to turn off IPv6 - someone might want to stop them before they
completely kill US IPv6 adoption.

Not allowing he.net tunnels is not killing ipv6. You just need need
native
ipv6.

On the other hand it would be nice if Netflix would try the other
protocol
before blocking.
