   Hello Rick,   
      
   On Monday September 13 2021 15:26, you wrote to me:   
      
    RS> Not looking good, apparently they say I cant have ipV6 addresses   
    RS> unless I use their modem??  That seems weird to me but what do I   
    RS> know....   
      
   That sounds familiar...   
      
   Here (Netherlands) network providers supply a "free" modem/router to their   
   csutomers. Most DSL providers allow customers to use their own but leading   
   cable provider Ziggo will not allow you to use you own /modem/. One can have   
   their modem/router set in bridge mode and have one's own router behind it   
   ithough. However... in that case one has an IPv4 only connection. So more or   
   less the same situation as in your case. For now I use their modem/router.   
      
   A new law that comes into effect in januari forces providers to have customers   
   use their own equipment after the Network Termination Point. So than I can use   
   my own modem/router and still have native IPv6. But Ziggo is dragging their   
   feet and we may see some legal squirmishes before that happens. We will see...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
