Re:Tell HN: Hacker News now supports IPv6 by tuetuopay on Tuesday January 23, 2024 @04:22AM (#39101234)
Some do give you one but in the most incorrect way possible. When I had fibre through Orange France, they properly allocated a /56 to my connection, but the ISP provided router only routed the first /64 from the block. The UI even proudly displayed the full /56 in all of its glory followed by a "xx/64 usable".

Oh and I ended up disabling IPv6 altogether as their router would crap itself with a modest amount of IPv6 traffic. Pulling ~10Mbps of IPv6 would completely DoS the router, as it would not even go as far as answering to ARP. Some quality hardware for sure.
