Ipv6 will be hassle till static ipv4 is available as ISP's are reluctant to work on it. Even giants like Jio dosent like to work with ipv6. My ISP was blocked by Jio on ipv6 and it took over 2 weeks to remove that blocking
 
Nope, still a hassle. Buying a static ipv4 is miles better. Ipv6 address itself is a bigger hassle mess to begin with.
IPv6 is the replacement for IPv4 & it was supposed to be deployed way earlier than it is currently expected only reason being people don't care about it so ISPs have no incentive to use it as a selling point, Jio is No.1 in the world btw in terms of IPv6 deployment. Thinking IPv6 is hassle only because its new is like saying electric cars are trash because they are different.

It's NATed, I think, for me. I know it shouldn't be as it defeat the very purpose of ipv6. My wan ipv6 address and public ipv6 address are different. I hate Jio. I will surrender my connection after the 30 days trial. @ackr8
bro i use it to access my all my servers, its not NATed and please dont make assumptions on your experience and especially misguiding forum members.
 
IPv6 is not NATed. It was my mistake. I was comparing the WAN IPv6 address with the public IP address like in IPv4. The IPv6 DHCP Server directly assigns a public IPv6 address to any device connected to the router. I am new to this IPv6 thinggy so, please excuse me for the mistake.
@ackr8 Next time, read my comment and then comment.
 
IPv6 is different but the principles are the same. As for v6 deployment India is ahead of many countries on IPv6. But that's primarily due to Jio mobile. NATed or not depends on the network design, v6 is designed so we don't need NAT. It would take millions of years to run out of v6 addresses.
 
So at the end
1. Jio offers static IPv6..?
2. they don;t offer static IPv6 but their IP wont change frequently?
3. They do allow /64 by default and we get allocated within that range only?
 
1. No Jio does not offer static ipv6.
2. It would if your internet is disconnected or your router is rebooted etc, usually Ipv6 is given based on prefix delegation guess that's a bit helpful.
3. /64 is a very big range, you won't really run out of ips, plus that /64 will be shared with other customers.
PS - there are still many apps that do not support Ipv6 completely or natively. A lot of ISPs that also do offer Ipv6 comes with a fked up Ipv6 config, that disconnects every couple of hours. There are still millions of websites and websockets that you can't access without an ipv4. So yeah, unless it's adopted widely, don't talk about how smart you are with your Ipv6 or how much gravy you use with your Ipv6. For a new user, Ipv6 is still difficult to deal with.

1. It hardly changes(changed thrice in 4 months thats it) so not a big issue.
2. It stays the same even after reboots,resets
True, What I did was complain/raise an issue for ipv6 support and most of them got it within a month. In EU many ISPs use only IPv6 and I am pretty sure companies/services dont want to neglect it.
As for shitty IPv6 deployment, yes even my previous ISP (ACT Fibernet Hyderabad) had really bad routing that they disabled IPv6 for consumers and only enabled it for Leased Line customers.
