While end devices are usually behind NATs, most ISPs out there still ensure that every customer has a unique public facing IP address which is tied to them long term. My own residential IP (with Comcast) hasn't changed in years.

There's NAT and then there's CGNAT and basically all of the new wave ISPs are using it.

But, I'd rather deal with the cgnat annoyances than ever have a financial relationship with Mediacom again.

ISPs in Singapore for example absolutely store mapping of your name+your CGNAT RFC6598 IP + port.

It is. Also that data is stored for 3+ years.

There is a router with one IP address. If there is more than one user/device behind the router, how are you going to have IP address for each user?
