   Hello Victor,   
      
   On Sunday January 27 2019 18:05, you wrote to me:

   Too early to tell. They (Ziggo) were very slow to roll out IPv6. After telling   
   the customers that they would be rolling out IPv6 "later this year" for the   
   last decade, they finally started moving in 2016. But it is still   
   "unofficial", they have not yet published an official policy on IPv6. It is   
   still a surprise if after a modem change, you will have Dual Stack, DSLite or   
   IPv4 only. Customers that have IPv6 report they have a /56. But nothing   
   "official" from the ISP...   
      
    MV>> and a /48 on a bussines pro connection.   
      
   THAT is what they offically advertise for the Bussines Pro connection.   
      
    MV>> If you need more than a /56 on a home network, you are doing   
    MV>> something wrong.

   So? Just use whatever you need from the /48 and ignore the rest. There is no   
   shortage of IPv6 addresses,,,

   Be patient. I have been pestering Ziggo for a decade before they stopped   
   dragging their feet on IPv6. ;-)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
