   Hello Kees,   
      
   On Saturday October 03 2015 19:21, you wrote to me:

   So let then do some work for the "administratiekosten" that they charge...   
      
   OTOH, I could live with a theoretically dynamic address that in practise never   
   changes like my present IPv4 address.

    KE>  They do?. I have a static IPv6 from Xs4all, but so is my IPv4.   
      
   AFAIK the dsl providers all issue static addresses end the cable guys are just   
   starting and haven't shown their true colours yet.

   Rumour has it that existing customers will be issued native IPv6 starting   
   beginning next year. They won't tell us more than that...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
