Wait what, ISPs NAT their customers now?

That's just not cool

Well we have run out of IPv4 and ISPs aren’t in a hurry to adopt IPv6. Also, isn’t this common in apartment complexes?

...now that I think about it I think I was NATted before; I just wasn't smart enough to know what it was at the time. Now you have made me think.

Fun fact: the college I graduated had a /16 with a student population of ~4k. Every single device got it's own public IP address.

That has been the case for ages. Not all ISPs do it though.
