Personally I'm using as a provider "solnet.ch" (I'm their customer since a very long time and so far I'm very happy with them - it's a small provider headquartered in the canton Solothurn, but my connection originates from the canton Zurich), and so far it doesn't seem that they'll offer IPv6, so this matches your statement.
On the other hand, if I remember correctly, I think (not sure and I cannot check this now) that I did have to modify my DNS configuration of my email server related to IPv6 when my parents changed from Swisscom to Sunrise (in 2020 or 2019 - my mother uses my email-server and the IPv6-entries weren't configured correctly) => can it be that Sunrise is using IPv6 as well, at least partially?
I might be wrong, especially regarding what you mean with "natively" (maybe you mean that customers get "only" an IPv6-address, the access to the IPv4-network being fully relayed at the ISP-level?).
- zahllos 5y agoSo by natively I mean that if you look at the packets there is only ipv6. 6rd, hurricane electric and so on, you can use these tunnels to get the functional equivalent of having IPv6 at home, but between you and the point-of-presence (the other end of the line your router is connected to where Swisscom decide to do something with your packet) is IPv4. Customers actively have to opt in to 6rd on Swisscom and actively have to set up hurricane electric and other IPv6 tunnels. Which means connectivity is limited to people who are going to do that, so service providers on the internet must offer IPv4.
