right, we need to get at this from an end user perspective.
Due to the pandemic, many people are now using their home internet
connection for work. As the network providers for these home networks
frequently were among the first to encounter the shortage of IPv4
addresses, many of these networks provide IPv6 connectivity while at the
same time using some kind of NAT to provide IPv4 connectivity. These NAT
systems tend to be overloaded, now probably more than usual.

So the message to users is "If you have trouble to access company A
providing service X, it might be because A does not support IPv6
connections. Try company B as an alternative who does have IPv6".
