Genuine question:
What does ipv6 give you that ipv4 does not? I genuinely can't tell the difference as an Internet browser. Particularly on the phone.

I self host. Cgnat means my servers ipv4 is not globally accessible hence I'm using ipv6. ipv6 does also reduce network congestion and improve routing efficiency.

The fact that it improves routing efficiently and that Optus does not support it explains all you need to know about Optus.

What explains it just as well is a post on the optus forum asking about ipv6. This was 6years ago.
