I just double checked.  The Comcast network is definitely only giving
my modem an IPv4 address.  Do you mean your modem gives you an IPv6,
is it a true IPv6 address (as opposed to the IPv4 slice of the v6 space)?

Yes.

Can people in the outside world reach you at that IPv6 address?

I can't check since I'm no longer at a place with Comcast service but as
I recall I could ssh out to my servers over IPv6 and it worked.

Comcast is a whole bunch of cable systems glued together so it would
not be astonishing if some bits of it still don't have IPv6 support.
Or maybe you just need a new modem.
