   Hi Michiel!   
      
   16 Nov 2020 15:42, from Michiel van der Vlist -> Anna Christina Nass:   
      
    AN>> I chose this, as my DTAG DSL connection would indeed offer a

   Same here with my Cable connection.   
   Dynamic IP that changed 2 times in 22 years ;)   
      
   But I know that DTAG has even a page, where you can trigger an IPv6 network   
   prefix change.   
   But they also do it periodically.   
   Some of their customers see it as a "privacy" feature.
