In Germany, Kabel Deutschland, no longer offers ipv4. At least, My router only gets an ipv6 one. (100/6Mb + phone line = 55 eur)

How do you access IPv4 sites? Tunnel?

Some of the carriers who have gone IPv6-only like T-Mobile USA use technologies like 464XLAT to access IPv4 sites. Here's some info:

And RFC 6877 specifies 464XLAT:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6877

and here is even more detailed info from T-Mobile:

Regarding DS-Lite, this video from RIPE NCC provides a nice overview:

Both DS-Lite and 464XLAT are ways that an ISP can be IPv6-only yet still access legacy IPv4 content and services.

Probably carrier-grade NAT64.

EDIT: Apparently it's DS-Lite: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6818805
