   Hallo Michiel,

   As far as I've read, at least as a customer of Deutsche Telekom it is     
   also possible to get the business packages.   
   I don't know how other ISPs handle it, though.

   Yep, that's the problem :) So I try to handle it in the way that if     
   automating a problem is not excessively hard, I try to write a script     
   if I probably have to solve a problem several times.

   Okay, so it can happen that your IPv6 connection isn't reachable for     
   some time (via DNS). So it's good that IPv4 is still working :)
