This is a somewhat recent and unfortunate regression on their network. 
I've lived on AS54858 (formerly condointernet) for almost 15 years now 
and that AS previously had IPv6 support that was turned down sometime 
within the last 12 months. The rumor on the street around here is it's 
the intersection of losing some critical staff to a competing ISP and a 
major re-architecture on their backbone and billing systems. They just 
haven't prioritized getting v6 running again.

I tunnel my v6 traffic over v4 and egress at a local datacenter but it's 
still quite a shame to see the network regress like that with seemingly 
little care to fix it.
