I worked at an (residential) ISP and not a single customer has ever asked about IPv4 or IPv9 or any IPvX. They were buying 'Internet' or even 'Wi-Fi'. Now, on on the DSL reports there are plenty of questions 'When will ISP_X will support IPV6'

I am a customer, and I just filter out providers that don't have IPv6 as I assume they are incompetent.

I wouldn't waste time asking someone to support it. It's 2021.

It is one of these things that customers who know they want it will look for an ISP that offers it. There is no point in asking one who doesn't in 2021 because they will be like "oh we will look into it", and then close your ticket.

True. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. The ISPs that don't support it usually have huge ancient antiquated middle boxes that can't be upgraded. I wouldn't choose an ISP with old cumbersome infrastructure.

I have IPv6 only servers and I am not moving to fiber because the ISP does not offer IPv6 with it. I will move when they offer it.

Out of all the stakeholders in IPv6 migration, I blame the ISPs the most.

I get plenty of requests for static ipv4 from smb and home users.

I could see that being down to IPv4 allocation issues, specifically CG-NAT or dynamic pools, that people want to avoid.

[soultrees]

You get plenty of requests for the static part of it and less so for actual ipv4. If there was an option for static ipv6 then people would also request that instead. Static IPs have use cases that people in the wild need, however I don’t think anyone cares if it’s ipv4 or ipv6.

I mean, I'd love static both, but I'm going to ask for static v4 first, because I can always run a tunnel for static v6.

[taneliv]

Why couldn't you do it the other way around? Run a tunnel for static IPv4 over IPv6.

[toast0]

Because there's not a mainstream (and free) tunnel broker for IPv4.
