no speed gain, and all sites still on ipv4 once sites are ipv6 only,  then it  has a purpose (as far as i know)

There technically is a speed gain, but whether or not users will notice it is a different story. If you want to read more about it, the Wikipedia article has a pretty good sections talking about some of the benefits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Comparison_with_IPv4

 

I think that most sites nowadays are both IPv4 and IPv6 compatible, since they're handing out IPv6 addresses to anyone and everyone ;)

Its probably your ISP.

 

Comcast in my area has both IPV4 and 6 simultaneously. Other people will need to use tunneling and proxies until more services are switched.
