Congratulations on your testing (all the abbreviations are an alphabet 
soup to me.)

Comcast has had all their residential customers on IPv6 for some time 
(this according to a business-class tech who was here a couple of 
years ago doing some work). I've only tested several residential 
customers' setups and sure enough, IPv6 on all of them with no 
evidence of any IPv4. The business-class side of Comcast is all IPv4 
with no option for IPv6 at this time (at least it hasn't been offered 
to me, so I use Hurricane Electric's free IPv4-to-IPv6 service just to 
play around [at this time, I only use IPv6 to poll some time servers]).

A couple of years ago I spent a month learning IPv6. It really is much 
better than IPv4. Takes some getting used to and the size of the 
address space is beyond imagination. You'll enjoy learning it...
