    MV> customers should at least get a /56. many give a /48.   
      
   Scroogy?, huh.... oh God, don't get me started on this a-holes, provides   
   *guess* billions of IPs on the same network block are better than good around   
   here, /48 would be --according to the-- for enterprise customers so I will try   
   to have them assign a /48 because I also tried getting my *roaming* IPv6 /48   
   from LACNIC, my RIR but USD$1,200/yr for hobby is kinda dealbreaker   
      
    MV> Are you sure you can't get more than just a /64?  If not, for me that   
    MV> would be a reason to take my bussines elsewhere...   
      
   Yup, trust me, been there, done that, but that unfortunately is the only one   
   that you can get to do bridge mode on the CPE for IPv4, we're way behind down   
   here in South America (except Brazil) when it comes to v6, as I said I throw   
   hate everytime I can to those grumpy old-men with their brains stuck on IPv4   
   and the /30 and v4 VLSM practices migrated to IPv6.   
      
   The otehr issue I do not want to rn n into is using Tunnelbroker, it's slow   
   because of it's 6to4 tunnel nature, but it's an alternative, I do like HE, but   
   being a VPN and its inherent drawbacks drives me away.   
      
      
    MV> Cheers, Michiel
