Hello, I see that more providers are charging for IPv4 or raising prices. The issue is that many internet services don’t support routable IPv6, making it impossible to access certain offerings. While I understand that not all services rely solely on IPv6 today, I’m curious—do your ISPs provide a usable and accessible IPv6 network?

Comcast likely offered IPv6 support for several years, possibly longer. Some providers are simply avoiding IPv6 in favor of basic carrier-grade NAT. Over time, the entire web may shift to IPv6, making IPv4 less common.

I selected "can be activated as an option" since that was the setting when I joined my ISP, though I think they now enable it automatically by default. It’s already turned on on the router, but not on my primary LAN, because tracking client bandwidth on IPv6 is more challenging.

I've been using dual-stack since 2013. The reason I started was by connecting my early 2000s coax modem until it stopped working in 2013, and the newer model supported dual-stack. EDIT: currently I disable it because it conflicts with certain corporate VPNs, especially when local DNS doesn't expect IPv6 clients.

Yes, IPv6 operates alongside IPv4 as an additional layer on top of existing networks.
