ISPs are expected to delegate a /56 or /64 prefix to customers. Some are even delegating /48s. Mine delegates a /56.

That should be enough for all your devices to randomly rotate IPs for a lifetime or a few without any NAT.

Shitty ISPs do exist, or at least they existed two years ago.

Sure they exist, but should you expect your ISP to be shitty? Sounds like a terrible deal for you.

In large swaths of the US, you don't have a choice about what ISP you have available. If you happen to have a shitty one (and most aren't great), there's nothing you can really do about it.

The bad ones won't even give you IPv6 to begin with, haha. Not that I want it anyway.
