Meanwhile, Hetzner just added a staggering $19/address setup fee and a soon doubling of prices for IPv4 addresses from them ostensibly due to the rising costs of getting addresses, yet still has virtually no support for IPv6 on their offerings outside of a /64 per dedicated server.
/64 seems pretty standard, unfortunately. It's what I get on OVH. There's also way worse providers, like Digital Ocean with a /124, and LightSail with /128.
Is it? If the major cloud providers are siphoning off IPv4 space to create a monopoly, and 2nd tier cloud providers are raising prices due to the cost of IPv4 acquisition due to scarcity, there’s a real chance market forces migrate customers away from the 2nd tier as their costs rise.
