Thanks for the flowers re power users, appreciated!
Re regular users: we actually have a product called Easy7, which supports CGNAT for IPv4, but also native IPv6 enabled by default with DHCPv6-PD. It assigns a /56 to each user.
The Easy7 service comes with an ACS controlled Fritzbox 5530. We don‘t touch the password though, if a customer wants to configure things on the Fritzbox such as SIP lines or IPv6 to hosted services, it‘s possible. If it breaks our support can simply revert the config to Easy7’s default by some ACS commands.

Hi all,
This came up recently when I was talking with some colleagues about residential connections... You know, regular stuff people discuss over a beer or two... We all know Init7 is recognized as The Provider for power users and no one argues with that. But also everyone knows we have mainstream ones kinda-supporting IPv6. Swisscom gives public IPv4 and IPv6 via 6rd tunnel. Similar with Sunrise, but sometimes you end up on CG-NAT. Salt is only CG-NAT, at least according to the anecdotal proofs.
Power users wouldn't be power if they did not try stuff. So I took my Sunrise FTTH over native fiber (EWZ in my case, not Swisscom BBCS) and it turns out I get public IPv4 from DHCP (expected) as well as IPv6 /56 prefix via DHCPv6 (not expected at all). The last one is extremely surprising - the status quo was that you can get IPv6 with Sunrise via 6rd, but DHCPv6 is a novelty. Or is it not?
What is the state in 2024 ? Who does IPv6 ? Who does it natively ?
I am surprised there is no single google result about Sunrise doing DHCPv6 so I wonder what we don't know about other ISPs.
Cheers and have a nice day, Mat
