Looking at their RDNS it looks like they will be using CGNAT. But that makes sense, it seems like a tough time to get IPv4 in bulk required for an ISP

- derekp7 6y agoAren't most cellular networks CGNAT? I know my T-Mobile phone is (for IPv4), with native IPv6. I'd like to see more consumer internet be IPv6 first, with a weaker IPv4 to help speed along adoption of v6.
- nerdbaggy 6y agoYeah most cell carriers are, but from where I’m at most ISP aren’t yet
- est31 6y agoUsually the encumbent/older ISPs still have IPs from the age where they being handed more freely, so they have more than enough to give every customer their own public IP while the challengers have fewer IPs and have to resort to carrier grade NAT. Smartphone plans usually get carrier grade NAT even at the older ISPs.
- taf2 6y agoIn my area Comcast is ipv6 but not very good and fios is ipv4 and very good
- dicknuckle 6y agoSprin isn't. yet. who knows what's going to happen with the merger. AT&T is though. I'm using OpenMPTCP router to my VPS to both get around CGNAT and aggregate the speed of both connections.
- kitteh 6y agoA number of them are. Especially when you get out of first world countries. The problem is that folks who deploy them really hate scaling them up. They believed in IPv6 and the transition isn't going fast enough (sup hosters and cloud providers - stop treating IPv6 as a "customers aren't asking for it" problem and realize this is infrastructure you have to do on their behalf). So now they are stuck paying for v6 CGNAT upgrades or in some cases: running them congested.
- kaliszad 6y agoHopefully, they will be fully IPv6 and use IPv4 only for legacy internet via something like NAT64/DNS64 + 464XLAT as some of the carriers do.
