The weird thing is that on some countries IPv4 only turned effectively into the premium offering. This is for instance the case in Austria where you generally have the option of ipv4 or ipv6 with dslite or worse only.

All new contracts are ipv6 and the only way to get to ipv4 is via customer support. However right now ipv4 gives you the better experience.

I don't believe it's weird, in fact, I think it's natural. IPv4 is better (because every single machine and server has IPv4 connectivity, unlike IPv6) and available addresses are getting scarce. Therefore, IPv4 access with no CG-NAT is turning into a "premium" service.
