If you have a decent DSL modem, tunneling, going through Hurricane Electric's IPv6 tunnelbroker, works just fine. http://tunnelbroker.net/
HE even provides you with the commands to enable the tunnel on your machine.
I use that for some time now on my network.

If you need a tunnel to work behind a NAT-device, you can also use: http://www.sixxs.net/

It seems that Hurricane Electric is the way to go for many people world-wide, because Hurricane has deployed a robust 6to4 tunnel server infrastructure in data centres around the world. See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/10/ipv6_traffic_surge/ - Hurricane is credited with part of a big traffic surge in IPv6 in mid 2009, by improving the quality of IPv6 connectivity quite dramatically.

OpenWRT also seems like a good option for many people as it supports a lot of different hardware, and it has some optional config GUIs these days. Unfortunately, Tomato firmware (which has nice QoS support) doesn't yet do IPv6. DD-WRT supports IPv6 but its freeness is questionable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT#Controversy) and I had major problems with some versions even with IPv4.

Web hosting also needs to go IPv6 of course - takeup is not that wide, but http://www.fix6.net/ipv6-webhosting/ has a list.
