Pointers to these facts would be greatly appreciated, especially as no
one else seems to know where to find them.

to repeat, a very large broadband provider has said semi-publicly, and
another has corroborated, when they enable ipv6 to an average consumer,
40% of the traffic immediately switches to ipv6.  the cause is netflix
and youtube, with a bit of help from fb and non-youtube gobble.  content
is queen.

http://6lab.cisco.com/stats/ suggests the figure is even higher, over 50% in some cases.
