Verizon still seems to be quiet about their IPv6 plans for their FiOS network too :(.

It certainly does not work on the iPad "3" in Ohio. Not only that, but I can't even pay them to give me a stable IPv4 
address, because if you get a static IP, it disables the hotspot functionality. Head-->Wall.

Not only does Verizon *not* have IPv6 on their LTE network, they
also do *not* have IPv4, except for double-NATed rfc1918 crap that
changes your IP address every couple minutes. The only way to get
a stable connection is to pay them $500 to get a static public IP
address.

wierd, I could swear someone in my office with a galaxy-nexus-on-vzw
was able to browse some ipv6-only sites.
