And with certain ISP's being done with DS-Lite which is the worst possible solution at the moment. Sure, your core network is now IPV6, but everyone is going through CGNAT for the parts of the internet that are IPV4 only.

It's one of the reasons I moved from Virgin Media (Cable in the UK) to Zen (FTTP) ... proper dual stack so I have native IPV4 AND IPV6.

No, CGNAT-only is the worst solution.

What choice do they have? There are more humans than IPv4 addresses, so if every ISP were dual-stack, the price would go to infinity. It would be more productive to complain about CGNAT-only ISPs, than those who are actually trying to fix the problem.
