I'd read about CGNAT but until it impacts you it ceases to be that important. It's impacting me as we've recently moved over to EE's 4G service not so much for speed but because Three's network has a fault in this area which they seem to have no inclination to repair. EE's 4G is blazingly quick yet only offers partial access to the internet because of CGNAT.
We could go back to looking around as we'd tracked down the nearest cabled areas before and almost did move home but family events meant that had to be put on the back-burner. I shudder at the thought of moving back somewhere urban but we may have no choice.
But, there's nothing to say that Virgin Media won't implement CGNAT at some point. And AFAIK the cable network is not IPv6 capable.
Is CGNAT a serious proposition? ISPs are going to be flooded with support questions and problems going down this route.
However so far as I can see, almost nobody is adopting IPv6 anywhere other than maybe AAISP and to get that you have to involve BT at some point and AAISP are only as good as BT's decrepit old last-mile network enables them to be.
I'm sure that in certain circles this has been a hot topic and one which this site has covered before on multiple occasions.
Are we really out of IPv4 addresses to the point where the internet is basically going to begin "breaking" for everyone as more ISPs take this up? From my brief experience with it, CGNAT is going to be a shambles.
I can only hope, at this point, that ISPs implementing it are going to be met with such a flood of issues that they invest the necessary cash to sort IPv6, but this seems to be moving along very slowly.
Thoughts...?
