In Germany, where the Google statistics show 64% IPv6 adoption, mobile carriers were actually the last to support IPv6, but even the last mobile carrier enabled it around a year ago.

Now it's mostly businesses that are still not using IPv6.

Over here in America T-Mobile has been IPv6-only with NAT64/464XLAT since the early-mid 2010s.[1] My local cable internet company still doesn't support IPv6 in 2022!

yup, same for my ISP, they just completed a rebrand and finalized a bunch of mergers so maybe they'll finally see this as a cost saving measure and implement it.

All the carriers here enabled it for their direct customers, but many resellers still only provide IPv4 connectivity (with CGNAT).

I believe in the US ipv6 mobile adoption was much quicker.

I’m on Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland. IPv4 only, my only option would be to switch to CGNAT to get IPv6, which I’d rather not.

Not sure why thats the case for you. I'm on Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland too and got full ipv4/ipv6 dual stack? Is that one of those regional limitations that Vodafone seems to have?

Oftentimes you can just ask the customer service of Vodafone. If you reach a good agent, they will switch you away from CGNAT and you get a proper /56 public routable prefix on your cable line. Also works great for me. Be aware, the Vodafone modem won‘t forward the prefix for you. Use a Fritzbox or one of the other few cable modems where you get full control.

You are sure you are not behind a CGNAT? From what I’ve heard, that’s the case for everyone with IPv6.
