My ISP has literally a single public IP address they use for all subscribers. And, I have third-party cookies disabled in my browsers because they are almost never used for something legitimately good. Because of these two things, I'm constantly being punished with captchas, and sometimes downright bans ("your IP isn't good enough to post on this forum"), in places where I least expect. Yes, looking at you, Google and Cloudflare.

Oh wow, the dreaded carrier-grade NAT. I still can't believe that's a thing.

    I asked them about IPv6 at some point, they said there are no plans to deploy it but "well you could buy a static IPv4 address if you don't like the NAT or want to run a server". It's a nice ISP otherwise, no "value-added" services, the speed is high (too high for many servers) and service disruptions are rare.
