Many high-volume sides do offer IPv6, since years (all google infra,
youtube, facebook, etc.) - so depending on the type of end-users, you
can see well over 50% IPv6 traffic.  Think "student dormitories" and
"youtube" ;-)

But this really depends on the nature of your traffic, as many "news
outlet" types are still missing (stern.de, spiegel.de, bild.de, ...)
(and those would be prone to SEO coaxing ;-) ).

What irks me quite a bit is that there's still many content offerings
that use CDNs (Akamai, Cloudflare, etc.) who can do IPv6 perfectly fine,
you just have to check the "[X] yes, IPv6!" checkbox... so we have,
www.ard.de who are behind Akamai, but have no v6...

I wasn't aware that Vodafone DSL is lacking in that regards - as they have
IPv6 on their cable and mobile offerings (arguably "different networks, 
before VF bought them and put the VF label on top").  But you're right,
there is work to do.  Thanks for the insight.
