I'm on MetroFibre, as ISP too, and they enabled IPv6.

I don't really know when, I guess my router got its IPv6 a couple days ago when there was a power cut at night and it had to reconnect, I noticed this morning only.

Router UI is "not the best" for IPv6. It says /64 after its IP, but my router and laptop are differing after 46 bits.
 
I don't know what they are doing, it seems weird that my WAN and LAN side are different on the third block already.

The CGNAT seems "less crazy" also, public IP not changing as often.
 
I don't know how they set things up unfortunately. Normally you would get a different Prefix on your lan, than on your wan. And sometimes like on Openserve, you only get a link local on the wan (fe80::10). Test your IPv6 setup by going to https://test-ipv6.run/
