Sometimes I wonder if I should switch my home network to have native IPv6, which would give me, well, not-broken IPv6 for clients and better speeds over IPv6 than a free 6in4 tunnel, in exchange for needing a VPS to proxy inbound IPv4 traffic for my servers.

But the problem is that of course the ISPs don't follow the
RIPE NCC IPv6 BCOP, and give you a dynamic prefix. This makes a lot of things Hell, and even if you tried to save yourself with NPT, AFAIK client devices will prefer IPv4 to going over a ULA prefix...

also I don't really wanna change anything with the current setup cause my former ISP (UPC) got bought by a bigger ISP (Play) that's generally recognized as a horrible piece of shit, but it works for now and it only costs me 5pln/mo extra to not get harassed by their marketing department

other options include an ISP that will only give you a discount for agreeing to digital correspondence if you claim it every single month in their app and will reset your connection every 11 days to force a new IP address/prefix (Orange)

theres also like tmobile and netia, don't remember if those also have as much anticonsumer fuckery but all large ISPs seem to be hostile cunts in general, shit like "contract for 24mo and after that the price raises by 20pln/mo unless you renegotiate a new contract" seems to just be The Norm now, meanwhile the contract I have was a "10pln/mo more expensive than the default contract but unlimited period no penalties for ending it etc." thing which seems to be a lucky thing)

well play specifically is the kind of ISP that will give you a 6h SLA for tech support in a business plan and then take 70 days and 2 legally binding complaints (TL note: "reklamacja") to solve the problem (according to a thread on some obscure polish forum)

also I distinctly remember that with some of these providers you can get a way better deal if you go to a customer service place in person and negotiate than what you can get otherwise

apparently there's a government website that shows you all ISPs that provide services for a given address (incl. b2b-only)

so there is exactly 1 ISP here that's not a Large Corporation, and they have funky terms like "1500pln penalty for 'sharing the internet connection outside of the flat in the contract'"
