I check the google stats[0] on ipv6 adoption every few months. Last time I checked it was barely 9% an now it's on 15% !

I would have never thought we'd get this far this fast. Looks like the switchover is actually going to happen.

IMO the major thing holding back IPv6 on the web is amazon. A huge proportion of services are hosted on AWS, and the lack of IPv6 addressing of instances cannot be forgiven.

Amazon and github are the two major offenders.

I noticed the other day that IPv6 growth is slowing down, as Google measures it. Its access share used to double every ten or eleven months, now it doubles more slowly, and seems likely to reach 20% only in 2017 instead of this year, and if it goes on as in the recent months, 30% in 2018 instead of in 2017.

At a guess, many of most competent ISPs have done their thing and now we're seeing the more sluggish middle. Or? Comments?

Looks like the US is up to 30% now! I suspect mobile traffic is largely driving this as all the major carriers are moving to ipv6 only and proxy an ipv4 address when needed.

Baidu, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit are also major players who could make a huge difference.

The worst part about reddit in that case is that they use cloudflare which could be a 1 click update to ipv6. Previously they have stated that internal systems (spam, court orders, reporting) are holding them back from the change.

Still plausible, e.g. if their spam filters, court order handling and reporting expect to see IPv4 client addresses in their input and/or databases.
