I'm using a TREZOR, so I'm intending to start sending my stash to SegWit addresses fairly soon.

It's still in their "beta wallet" though, and most major wallets still don't seem to use SegWit, so it could be a while before we see the majority of users starting to spend SegWit transactions.

Maybe the hard fork in November will have an effect.

I wish I could be able to use SegWit right now.But unfortunately I'm still using a web wallet (Xapo)(which is really dumb from me).My web wallet still didn't update their software to be able to accept SegWit transactions.
I'm really hoping they update it in the near future because right now I'm paying exorbitant fees (10-15$ per transaction) which become a serious problem for bitcoin.

I'm aware that I must use a wallet which I have access to private keys,I'm just waiting for my web wallet to release my BCH and stop using it forever.

I will start using it as soon my ledger arrives. I think segwit and lightning networks are great features and they will help bitcoin to become a more accepted payment option because of the lower fees.

Why don't you just move all your coins to another wallet with one single fee and then wait for the BCH coins?
And sorry but 10-15$ for a tax? With how many inputs? Sorry to say it but this is just st.... and you seem aware of it.

Back to the main topic...
I'm sorry to say, haven't yet done a single one. And I kind'a don't see yet the situation when I'm going to send one.

Yes just did a couple of segwit transactions with my ledger, had quite some apprehension doing the switch to a segwit address but all went well. And a similar good experience with lite-coin switching to segwit addresses but was dealing with larger sums in btc so had more fear in switching over to segwit :P

I also do not use segwit, because I am waiting for more reliable electrum development. When I realize that now it is to use some kind of developed blocks with new and secure features then I will use it for my bitcoin wallet.

But at this time I never tough of using any kind of segwit or other address. So waiting for more developers because bitcoin is also in the process of development and promotion.

What does a Segregated Witness address looks like?

Which wallets already support it?

As far as I know, it starts with '3' instead of '1'.

Im not using segwit yet simply because the wallet I use (Bitcoin Core) doesn't support it, and until the best wallet (Bitcoin Core) doesn't update its software to 0.15 which is coming in 3 days by the way, you will not see a massive increase of segwit transactions.

But wait for it, next week I predict a lot of segwit volume happening. I will definitely be using it. The thing has been tested beyond belief. Only delusional conspiracy theorists are still saying transacting in segwit is dangerous (notice how these promote their "solution-altcoin" as well).

I just sent a transaction of 0.001 BTC with a fee of 1 satoshi/byte from my SegWit .  In total, the fees were 0.00000171 BTC.  This is 171 satoshi, worth approximately $0.006 or 0.17% of the transaction.

Confirmed already.  

stop lying :D
i just received a transaction with 10 satoshi/Byte fee and the tx size was nearly 9000 bytes and it was mined instantly (3 minutes to be honest). and it has been like this for a long time.

more like they stopped spam attacking bitcoin.

i do not think they are happening any more though.
