When my ISP switched from cable to fiber this year I got put behind one.
Comment on Internet centralization and the original sin of NAT

I hear a lot of chatter about CGNAT. How common is that? Anecdotally, I’ll have to say, I’ve never encountered it… ever.

All starlink residential service is behind cgnat. They have IPv6 but it’s not well documented.

I’m in the US and my ISP gives everyone CGNAT by default. On the lower tier plans, we have the option to buy a semi-static IP for an extra fee. The higher tier plans include the semi-static IP for free upon request.
I have also been talking with them about IPv6. They will only grant customers a /64 prefix because their pool of v6 addresses is so small, they would run out of their allocation if they granted customers a /60.
By only giving customers a single /64 I cannot implement v6 on my VLANs.
Like literally all mobile internet connections are behind CGNAT, as is Starlink for example.
For landline internet connections it is indeed uncommon.

Starlink has supported IPv6 for years. You have to put their router in bypass mode and connect your own to open ports in the firewall though. They delegate a /56 prefix and it’s stable. Mine hasn’t changed in over 3 years. Since my cell carrier also provides IPv6, I can access my SFTP server remotely without dealing with any NAT.
