It's easier to remember the IPs of good DNSes, too.

Today in our newest take on "older technology is better": why NAT rules!
Imagine actually having ipv6 available through your ISP.
...and ever if my ISP actually provided one, getting a static one costs money so there's no difference in the end.
I guess I am lucky. 3 out of 3 isp's available from in my region provide IPv6 with a dhcp-pd assigned stable address by default. (Norway)
Yeah, here in Russia the ISPs and IT infrastructure guys seem to be treating IPv6 like it has cooties. I can't find an article (and it'd be in russian anyway) but as far back as 2022, if you get IPv6 you can expect a variety of issues with it, ranging from "you need to reboot your router every once in a while" to "you technically have v6 but good luck actually browsing v6 internet".
And of course, why would they give you a stable IP when they can charge for it :T. At least it's only a third the price of a stable IPv4.
My current ISP technically provides v6 according to their site - but my connection doesn't have it, and since there's nothing about it in the years-old contract, I'd need to redo that if I want to complain.
You have my sympathy. I do not know of a sure way to get isp's to behave. Espesially not if they have regional monopoly
There are usually plenty of choices for ISPs here, actually. But switching between them isn't likely to give me IPv6 since either they share a magistral or the hardware is just plain old. That, and IPv6 is just not a thing anyone markets.
...and with the current fuckery going on, I doubt many of them have budget for big upgrades. Or maybe even access to hardware to buy.
I just get that included. Like the Norwegian guy, but in Switzerland from Init7
