I can't speak for Spain and Sweden, but in the UK there are only two companies who provide internet infrastructure (though one is required to lease their network out to the market for competition reasons), as far as I'm aware they simply haven't deployed IPv6 for consumer lines yet.
- gsnedders 11y agoThis isn't actually the case: yes, OpenReach (part of the BT Group) owns all of the infrastructure from telephone exchange to the property as well as the initial infrastructure in the exchange, but that all supports IPv6, and OpenReach's customers (who are ISPs, not end users) are able to deploy IPv6 if they desire. It's the ISPs individual equipment (sometimes in the exchanges, but more often the routers they provide to customers) that doesn't support IPv6 and is blocking deployment: this is why some ISPs (A&A, for example) have IPv6 live.
