   Hello Andrew,

   Same here for Ziggo. For static IPs you need a bussiness Pro subscription. At   
   a price... Not an option for a private peson. Fortunately their "dynamic IPs"   
   are pretty static...

   I have not heard of such problems here yet...

    AL> they had not even gotten as far as applying for IPv6 address space.   
      
   WOW... :(   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
