Whoa. I have no idea. I absolutely, 100% certainly, do though. I have Sonic gigabit fiber, and can use IPv6 to connect to remote hosts (and can connect to my LAN from remote hosts on specific ports I have open).

If your IPv6 prefix begins with 2602:240, then your router is using the Sonic 6RD tunnel.

It doesn't. I'm in the 2600:1700 network.

I sure wish Starlink supported IPv6. They're a brand new ISP planning for millions of customers and decided from the start they couldn't get enough IPv4 addresses for everyone. Fair enough! But we're stuck with Carrier Grade NAT and it is a drag. On Starlink it's impossible to host a server socket directly, which makes any peer to peer networking a PITA. Geocoding IP addresses doesn't work so I have to bend over back…

What's the point of Starlink? with 4G/5G home internet, there's no real point anymore.

You likely live in a country with a population smaller than 5% of the worlds.

Many people do not have this option.

For me personally, the pathing of 5G and my broadband are too similar, so Starlink acts as a redundancy for these.
