I tested today just for giggles, test-ipv6.com shows I have working ipv4
and ipv6 10/10 on both tests. Interestingly enough I was only seeing 3G on
the device at the time.

So I guess its not just on LTE or is it LTE devices ?

I'm running galaxy nexus on vz with stock jelly bean from the recent ota
update

See quote from PC below regarding vzw, which matches colloquial evidence I have seen/heard as well.  This is also true 
of T-Mobile's v6 deployment when switching between HSPA+, Edge, 3G, etc (though I do not know if PC's general 
explanation of "how" is true of TMo)

One more tip:  IPv6 will work over the legacy 3g network.  Don't ask me
much about it, but it "tunnels" it using eHRPD to the same IP/IPv6 headend
to enable seamless EVDO/LTE handover.

Safari on the iPad seems to be preferring A over AAAA if a hostname has
both, though. I can browse to a bracketed IPv6 address so it is working.


I think perhaps it is time to update test-ipv6.com a bit, and have it
penalize the first number when IPv4 is used in preference.  IPv4 CGN
will make me a sad panda - especially when IPv6 is available but not being
used.
