I know folks aren't exactly the most fond of the big players but for
the record TELUS does offer IPv6 support, it's just not the easiest to
get connected to if you want to use your own modem.

>From speaking with TELUS late-DSL era and after fiber conversion
(Kamloops is a Fiber community), they do support IPv6 they just
implement IPv6 assignment on their network in a fashion that is
allowed by the standard but not commonly implemented. I'm going by
memory but it's some sort of combination between how they respond to
the DHCPv6 request. A host sending just an IA-PD will work fine,
whereas as host sending both an IA-NA and IA-PD with get a No Address
Avail response to the IA_NA and a proper prefix in response to the
IA-PD. This throws a lot of implementations as it's allowed per RFC
but rarely used. Sophos UTM for example chokes as they send both and
expect both, whereas pfsense you can tweak to only use IA-PD.
