Has anyone else been moved from public IP to NAT by BSNL Broadband in recent days?

vedant told me that bsnl changed his PPPoE username lol. he had to contact the exchange to get the new id. and after logging through it, he no longer got a public ip.
i am not sure how one can check if the connection is behind nat 😛

it's worse. isps charge a lot for static ips because of the shortage. nat is completely opposite. they are basically allocating same ip to multiple customers to handle the lack of ips available. this causes issues with a lot of online services like p2p communications and even gaming. cctvs do not work over the internet and so on.
jio went ipv6 to avoid this hassle. most wired internet services are using nat. and bsnl seems to be just the latest one to switch from public ip to private ip to overcome the shortage of ipv4 ips. most people would never realize this as they would never use an online service that requires public ip.

if that is the case and checking with what igloo said there is a difference between the ips. But before that i could not locate the section where ip is displayed in my modem page, i saw a section on default gateway. it said ***.***.0.1. when i checked what is my ip i got ***.***.15.99 with changed to the last 4 numbers.
now sharing ip's is it a secure thing to do ? why couldnt BSNL also switch to IPV6 ?
