   Hallo Michiel,   
      
   MvdV> It is up to the ISP how they deal with it. Point is that even if you

   Same here. Although how much of "a lot" it costs more depends on the     
   speed and other extras that you wish to have.   
   Basically a 50 MBit/s (downstream) / 10 MBit/s (upstream) is around   
   40 EUR/month for consumers and around 52 EUR/month for business     
   customers.   
      
   AN>> Okay, so it can happen that your IPv6 connection isn't reachable for

   Same here. The IPv6 connection for my BBS also had problems on friday     
   because Dynv6 'forgot' the AAAA record that I've configured - but it     
   seems to be a known problem. Maybe I rewrite the update script (and     
   recreate the AAAA record on every prefix change) or switch to my own     
   dyndns solution...   
      
   And in the near future, my BBS will also be down due to a Synchronet     
   update...   
      
   MvdV> If I still had a business and it depended on my servers being 24/7 on   
   MvdV> line, I would take measures. As it is, I do not consider it an issue for   
   MvdV> a hobby system...   
      
   That's true, indeed.   
      
   Regards,   
   Anna
