I have Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. The only thing I would miss from Netflix
is their Marvel original series. And I can live with that. I can't live
without my IPv6 enabled home network and Internet connection since that's
an essential part of my job. (I'm the IPv6 transition technical lead for a
large organization.) While I actually manage my home internet gateway
through a linux server and have fine-grained control over the firewall
rules, I'm still debating whether I care enough about a handful of series
to continue paying a company that is deliberately acting against its users'
interests. Right now I'm leaning toward no. But I'll discuss it with my
wife before making a final decision.

Who are these non-technical Netflix users who accidentally stumbled into

to know if I'm wrong.  Only thing I can imagine is if ISPs are using HE
as
a form of CGN.

There are several networks around the world that rely on 6-in-4 because
their local provider does not offer IPv6.
