CGNAT and IPv6

Question

Hi Folks,I have Koodo Home Internet and am looking access a home server from outside my network. I have not been able to find a specific answer to whether Koodo has my IP behind CGNAT, if they offer a public IP address for those who need it, or if they offer IPv6 addresses for those who want it.Does anyone know anything on these topics? I am thinking of getting a support callback but honestly am worried they won't be helpful or know what I'm talking about.Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Just to confirm, are you currently using your own personal router connected to the Koodo-provided modem?

From what I searched, Unlike Telus fiber or copper connections, Koodo Home Internet is a coaxial cable service that runs entirely on partner networks (Rogers/Shaw in Western Canada, and Rogers or Cogeco in Ontario, or Vidéotron in Quebec). Because of this cable infrastructure, Koodo Home Internet does not place your connection behind CGNAT. You are assigned a real, routable dynamic public IPv4 address.

If you are having trouble reaching your home server from outside, it is highly likely you are in a Double NAT situation. This happens when a personal router is plugged into the Koodo modem/router combo, creating two active firewalls
