privacy is not the issue. Selling business plans is the real reason.

You won't believe the number of crazy people in Germany who believe that static IP addresses are the root of all evil because of all the magucal tracking and surveillance possibilities they famtasize about.

IPv6 would allow for both.

The only reason I can still post here is that I don't have a static IP address. So yes, they are the root of all evil.

Other big German providers just fail at this. O2 for example only hands out IPv6 addresses very selectively based on whose lines they are renting in the area. I have no chance in hell of getting an IPv6 prefix from them.

telekom has some IPv6 routing issues every now and then that I did not encounter with other ISPs. I believe it is because they peer more selectively at de-cix instead of having open peering.
well I've seen most enterprise networks with no IPv6 support. (mostly admins thing that this beast is hard to work with) Also Kubernetes has limited IPv6 support (mostly on the documentation site) (of course it's easier to support a IPv6 only cluster, because heck you wouldn't really need BGP or some wierd overlay networks (sadly it still is not there yet)).
In Germany IPv6 within "Deutsche Telekom" is just good. But sadly on the consumer side you still won't get any fixed IPv6 (due to privacy concerns!)
