Of course it isn't. I live in the UK.

Mine is, and I live in the UK also. I'm not sure what joke you're making. Sure, we may not have the best bandwidth (although at my previous house I had 250MBit), but supporting IPv6 (etc) has nothing to do with being in the UK. Find a decent ISP, I recommend Zen (or if you can afford them, AA).

#4Wow, this is terribly misleading DNSSEC propaganda. It tells me:
"Protected from redirection to false IP addresses (DNSSEC)"
What does that mean? It means that whatever other DNS server I use seems to verify DNSSEC signatures (I use Google's DNS fwiw). Yet this doesn't provide any reasonable sense of protection, as the connection to that DNS server may very well be compromised.
This would very well show DNSSEC protection in an open public wifi if the provider decided to enable DNSSEC.

Yes. I like what they are trying to do, but they don't seem to actually think things through. It took me forever to get some of the server tests fixed, where it would report that my server didn't properly support IPv6 (in DNS) when in fact it did and just their test was wrong.
For me it says now 'your DNS service providers are:' and then the name of the netblock owner. The actual name server is in my network.

The question for many residential internet users is: Just because I set my DNS to Google's, do my request really arrive there? Or does my ISP use transparent DNS proxies?
I know that for many ISPs around here (Telekom especially), setting your DNS doesn't have any effect unless you run a local resolver (or DNScrypt).

I can get an unreliable 3Mbps with the wind in the right direction on Openreach, or anything up to 200Mbps on Virgin Media. I'd rather not use VM's heavily filtered IPv6-free zone, but it's not a question of not being able to afford a decent ISP, it's just practicality.

I thought DNSSEC was supposed to be verifiable by the client? If it isn't then it's pointless in the way that you suggest, but I find it hard to believe that hole was left.

I use Virgin Media and have no problems on any of my devices. Downlink can be a bit slower at busy times, but I guess that's nature of cable internet and uplink is always at the limit. And I really like that they very rarely change IP addresses (have mine for at least 3 months now).
I have the feeling that Sky has slightly better peering (more stable speed to US & Asia during peak hours), but the higher speed on VM is more important here, and ping times are generally very low.
What do you mean with IPv6-free zone? Have ipv6 disabled on my PC (for different reasons) but haven't experienced any connectivity problems on either Computers or other devices (which should be able to use IPv6). IF you mean missing availability of ipv6, I don't think that there are any pages you can't see on ipv4?

Depends where you live. In Storrington the internet is rubbish and no phone signal. This is 2017 UK. Driving to London from that region you lose mobile signal at least 5 times completely.
People act so entitled when they live in cities; I happen not to like cities which makes me a minority, but there are plenty of wealthy business people crying every day about their connection south of London (and probably in more places; most places around Exeter aren't great either).
