It made sense in the time of dial up. But        MvdV>>> now with "always on" connections...               WV>> So they can charge extra for static addresses?               MvdV> My provider (Ziggo) does not offer that. They have a Business Pro       package        MvdV> that includes a static /29 for IPv4 and a static /48 for IPv6, but for       that        MvdV> you need a commercial registration. (KvK nummer) They do not offer       static        MvdV> adresses on consumer accounts. Not for money and not for free.              So maybe it is just to save a bit on addresses? If only 1% of customers isn't       online at any give time, if you have a milion customers that is still 10000       addresses...              And it's probably easier to "administer" dynamic addresses.              Bye, Wilfred.       --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 124/5016 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 226/30 229/424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 428 550 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 400 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 5555 282/464 1038 292/854 8125 301/0 1       SEEN-BY: 301/101 113 812 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 341/234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 920/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 5020/545 1042 5058/104       PATH: 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
