It's normal, no? They deploy IPv6 because they don't have enough IPv4 addresses. And since most servers in the world are not IPv6 ready and will never be for a long time, if you want to reach an IPv4 server you have to go through their CGNAT which may have a piss-poor performance.

I really wish RIPE could force ISPs to release the addresses they don't need :(

If their CGNAT would perform better, clients would not even notice a difference. I hardly doubt all that buisness clients (thinking of small non-IT buisinesses such as coffee shops) require native IPv4.

An ISP who cannot offer a proper IPv6+IPv4 internet access should not be refered to as an ISP. He supports IPv6<->IPv4 segregation, instead.

12% of all web servers have IPv6, including most of the largest sites.

It's worth noting that many of the highest traffic websites are in that 12%, to the point that an average dual-stacked customer will see about 50% of their traffic by volume go over v6.

That's a very relevant stat when it comes to provisioning CGNAT capacity for your customer base.
