Last time I asked a technical(!) sales person at TeliaSonera about IPv6 availability they asked "Did you mean IPTV?". That pretty much sums it up and they are notably not ready for the "launch", but the launch page implies it's a staged roll out to ensure network stability. I read that as "we couldn't be bothered to get things done in time like the other ISPs". Notice how e.g. DNA just flipped a switch and went bang.

You might be in luck, it seems like Sonera has been deploying 6rd for some time already. Maybe you could already get IPv6?

  I have a tunnel already, had for a decade. I want native IPv6.

  yes, that person transferred me and then one or two more transfers later I had some actual tech person who went "oh yeah, we do IPv6, I think, it's a business feature. How you get it, I have no clue." It took another two months of probing and poking and unanswered call requests to B2B sales, to find out that in theory I could get a business connection, but it would cost me 10x as much with the only benefit being native IPv6. (It would be still over a crappy VDSL2 line at identical parameters).

Purely for the record: http://ape3000.com/ipv6/ http://ape3000.com/ipv6/ - a site that tracks IPv6 deployment in Finland was updated and the "will deploy native for launch" has disappeared next to Sonera and now it says "A schedule for native deployment is not known". So yeah, one of the largest ISPs decided not to give the slightest f. and will just stick to a half-arsed 6rd deployment, it seems.
