Toob supports IPv4 but also run dual-stack IPv6.
IPv4:
* Runs on CGNAT, which means you'll be assigned a non-routable 100.x.x.x WAN IPv4 address. For most people this isn't an issue, however the biggest side effect of CGNAT is that you're unable to use port forwarding rules on your firewall for inbound access. Before Toob introduced CGNAT you would be assigned a dynamic (but routable) WAN IP and because of this I used a dynamic hostname service for port forwarding/VPN access to my home firewall. However now I pay Toob an extra £8/month for a routable fixed IP which basically just gives me back what I had before. All in all it now costs me £33/month for 900/900 internet (usually £25/mo) which I'm still very much happy with.
IPv6:
* Toob will delegate to you a /56 prefix which means you can have up to 255 /64 LAN subnets. For most people this isn't important but if you plan on having VLANs / segregating your network this can come in useful.
* The IPv6 WAN address *seems* to be static (I've been monitoring this on a friends Toob connection where they don't pay for the static IP option - the IPv4 address has changed a few times over the year but the IPv6 WAN hasn't). If anyone can offer any clarification on this it would be appreciated.
* The Toob -supplied Sagemcom router appears to suffer from an issue (purely anecdotal - I've not had clarification on this) where it'll dish out IPv6 addresses to clients but after some time they stop working. Which I've found means your mobile phone apps appear to take a long time to load/get a connection as they'll be trying to establish a connection on the IPv6 stack that's been handed to the phone but are unable to, before eventually failing back to IPv4. Rebooting the Sagemcom often resolves the issue. I now use an Opnsense firewall which runs faultlessly with IPv6.
