Most providers (well the main decent ones) here in Australia are putting "new" customers onto CGNAT. Some do offer the ability
to get a public routable address. It's either by a phone call or a option on the isp's portal. They all charge $5-10 per month
for a static IPv4 address. A dynamic one is free.

With speed changes happening here on the NBN (National Broadband Network) in September, 500mb is going to be the entry level
speed for the current 100mb price. One provider has gone with a one plan, one price trick. I say trick as they are forcing
people onto CGNAT with NO option to opt out, even if you're previous plan was with a public IP.

For 98% of customers this won't be a issue, but for the remaning it will be.

Off all the ones that support IPv6, they are offering it for free. With either dynamic or a static range.
