The pros of PPPoE are for the isp side, it makes wholesaling much easier hence its heavy use in the UK.

Doesn’t really make wholesaling any easier (or harder). Case in point is Openreach which supports both IPoE/DHCP and PPPoE equally on its GEA network. It’s ready down to ISP choice.

It's always worth avoiding CGNAT if only to not have CAPTCHA interstitials popping up when trying to do things like use Google.

I've never had CAPTCHA interstitials for things like that thanks to CGNAT. Not on Three, EE or Starlink.

The only time I ever run into them is the rare occasions I use Tor.

In reply to a post by Spud2003:
I expect two FTTP providers to cover my address by the end of this year - Jurassic Fibre who use CGNAT(no IPv6 currently) and Openreach who use PPPoE(AFAIK). What are the pros and cons of CGNAT vs PPPoE? Is it worth going for Openreach to avoid CGNAT?

FWIW, Jurassic uses PPPoE too - just that on residential connections you don't see that information as the router is managed by them.
