    IPv6 doesn’t help anything if you’re behind CGNAT, you can have internal-only IPv6. There are good reasons to not have every household directly accessible to the outside world, so I’m sympathetic to that, but they also seem to love charging extra for it.

      CGNAT only applies to IPv4. You cannot NAT IPv6 effectively. It’s not designed to be NATed. While there IS provisions for private IPv6 addressing, nobody actually does it because it’s pointless.
