So what? Just because IPv6 does does not solve all the problems in networking it's trash and we should abandon it? No thanks. Where I live, ISPs are starting to share IPv4 addresses between several customers, which creates many problems.
And QUIC over IPv6 is still a lot better than QUIC over IPv4.
Here Comcast started giving out "static" IPv4 addresses to dynamic IP customers, which is the opposite of sharing IPs... I can change it by spoofing my router's MAC address though.
Comcast is the reason I disabled IPv6. They'd frequently route traffic over IPv6 to... Nowhere. Websites of major tech companies such as Google and GitHub would occasionally get routed wrong and just... Hang. It's like they black holed outbound IPv6 traffic. The traceroute6 output would quit displaying new routes.
Never had that problem on IPv4. So I ended up disabling it.
(I do have an unrelated issue that sometimes they can't route traffic between two customers in the same general area. Traffic tends to go out to the west coast Comcast DCs and get stuck, never comes back. We're midwest).
What do you mean? Just because Comcast leases you the same IP for years doesn't mean they're obligated to give you the same IP on your router's next DHCP request.
When we moved recently Comcast rotated our IP to one that geolocates to two states away. Which is fine until every single big box store geolocates us to the wrong store.
