   Hello Anna,

   It is up to the ISP how they deal with it. Point is that even if you could get   
   the Business Pro package without a commercial registration, it is still not   
   just "paying extra for the fixed IP". You get a lot more, like support   
   guaranteed within a certain time frame etc, end you pay for that. A lot...   
      
    AN>>> But besides, you have to be noticed somehow that the IP/prefix

    AN> Okay, so it can happen that your IPv6 connection isn't reachable for

   Indeed, it occasionally happens that my IPv6 is down for a couple of hours or   
   so. It also occasiaonally happens that my system is completely down for a   
   couple of hours. This is a hobby system. I do maintenance once in a while and   
   there the occasional power failure.   
      
   If I still had a business and it depended on my servers being 24/7 on line, I   
   would take measures. As it is, I do not consider it an issue for a hobby   
   system...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
