26 days agoThe ISP gives their modem/router an internal IP and routes traffic through their datacenter to them and other customers via one shared public address. Also IPv6 is not always an option, I had to activate it on my ISP’s website but it was useless in the end because I can’t get an IPv6 address on my phone
This reminded me of a few months ago when I went to Milan with a friend. I used Organic Maps for getting around and they used Gmaps. Their phone was always trying to get us to walk as little as possible, using EVERY possible combination of metro, tram and busses for even the shortest trips, it was insane. Change bus here, ride one stop, get on the metro, change to the other line, get back on a bus, take the tram, it never ended. Same trip on organic maps was 3 changes on the metro and a 5 minute walk at the end.
