   Good ${greeting_time}, Michiel!

   They have some, but offer CGNATed addresses (RFC6598 100.64/10) by default.   
   Possibly a wise idea: the vast majority of users are dumbasses who don't use   
   anything beyond HTTP.   
      
    MvdV> Are they charging for IPv4?   
      
   Had you expected anything else from these faggots? :-/   
      
    MvdV> Do new users get DS-Lite or full Dual Stack?   
      
   Most connections are IPv4-only, some are dual-stack. Most links are IPoE   
   (standard IP over ethernet, generally 10...100 Mbit/s, sometimes more, IPv6   
   ready), but there still exist a number of *DSL connections (IPv4-only, no   
   options for IPv6).   
      
    AV>> I guess Russia would be the next :-)   
    MvdV> Yeah ;-)   
      
   I think I'd one of the first to test it.
