IPv6 Traffic Volumes Are Low, But Nobody Knows How Low 231
netbuzz writes "As the June 8 World IPv6 Day experiment draws near, there is universal agreement that little IPv6 traffic is traversing the Internet at the moment. The event is designed in part to increase that volume. However, it will be difficult for Internet policymakers, engineers and the user community at large to tell how the upgrade to IPv6 is progressing because no one has accurate or comprehensive statistics about how much Internet traffic is IPv6 versus IPv4."
And in case you don't know much about IPv6 and why it matters, dave.io has kindly provided "a primer on the IPv6 transition: why it's cool, how to get started with it and what's changed."

ADSL 2+ can get to 24 Mbps theoretical, IIRC. VDSL can get to 100 Mbps+, but you have to be very close to the ISP. I believe cable can get those speeds over a longer distance.

I'm not in the US and I don't consider Cable an ADSL as the same thing.
Do you even understand how the technology behind each option works?
Or on a lower level. Do you know the difference between a stardard phone cable and a coaxial cable and how that affects signal quality and available bandwidth?
Go read some books and come back later.
