The US is a bit over 50%.¹ I'd attribute any recent growth to Verizon finally deploying IPv6 on FiOS (after 2 decades). But I think that's going to be it for growth. Every wireline ISP who was at-all willing to deploy IPv6 has.

The rest of them are effectively IPv6-Never-Evers. Our 1 cable ISP (spectrum) offers it. None of our fiber providers do (Frontier, WideOpenWest, T-Mobile, Optyx, Evolution). Given how new fiber deployments seem to be IPv6-adverse, I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of contraction over the next year or so.

I've posted elsewhere here that I'd relentlessly bugged my provider to deploy their IPv6. They have a /40 allocated. Or had. They just ditched it. Which I guess was their way of telling me to stop asking.
