No, it is yours.
Don't use your ISP-IPv6-reluctance for any delay on your side.

I can't move unles:

My ISP changes to IPv6
The rest of the world changes

If not, I will not be able to connect. What advantage do I get, if all sites I connect to are on IPv4?

Around the net you can find reports that failure to provide IPv6 will be
a reason for ISP's to go bust. Are you willing to wait for that to
happen? And then be forced to move to another ISP?

Absolutely yes.

For one thing, they will not go bust, they'll move. They are too big, and the state has interests on them. They fail, then no telephone in the country.

For another, there are no other ISPs. None here offers IPv6, and all of them except one uses the infraestructure of the main ISP, for starters.

So, I wait for them to move and force me to change - meaning that they will have to pay for the router.

In the mean time, use a tunnelbroker, while you can not get native-IPv6.

I don't see any advantage.
