I'm currently on BT FTTC which supports IPv6 and looking to move to a Cityfibre FTTP product, one ISP is much cheaper at £420 for the 18 months on a 500Mb/s service but they don't offer IPv6 while another more expensive ISP does but they're £702 for 18 months 500Mb/s or £594 for 300Mb/s

I've not long finished my CCNA so I'm familiar with the theory of IPv6 but not so much the practice, the main issue I come across with NAT is gaming although I was mostly able to work with IPv4 without issue. My main concern is I was having chronic connectivity issues with Forza Horizon 4 (although oddly not other Xbox games) which I initially resolved with configuring the Teredo client but the issues appeared again later, this time they were resolved permanently when switching to a router which supported IPv6.

I can't find any recent discussions on this so thought I'd see are there any people on IP4 services wish they could have IPv6 or those that have changed and find the latter better?
