I think you're underestimating the potentially huge support cost moving to IPv6 will cause. As has been mentioned, most people don't have IPv6 capable equipment (If it's Virgin supplied, the only things that support IPv6 are the Ambit 300*, the Superhub* and I THINK the D-link router - that's it) and more importantly, quite a lot of equipment will likely need to be configured to use it. It's a huge undertaking on Virgin's part and there's practically no benefit to it right now.

Such as what? Seriously, is there a site that's only accessible via IPv6 that's actually worth visiting right now? Don't get me wrong, it IS a necessary move and will have to be done at some point, but I really don't think the internet has been segregated like that just yet.

Part of the plans will what to do with all the customers on non-IPv6 compatible kit that VM have supplied

I would like to think that part of switching to the Superhub is to make the IPv6 upgrade path easier. Could be wishful thinking on my part.
Mostly, I just want it so I can assign a unique IP to every device I own.
* If I recall correctly, IPv6 support is part of the requirements for a DOCSIS3 device.
