Yes I am saying a household that mulithomes is abnormal and with today's and contracted monopolies I expect that to continue. You are not a normal household in that 1) you multihome 2) you are willing to pay $1500+ US a year for your own AS, IP assignments
while I don't disagree with the assertion that this is unrealistic the annual fee is $100 per org-id for direct assignments.
sorry was unclear - I was guessing $1500+ for ASnumer + IP Assignments but not counting ISP costs for a year. Looks like ARIN is charging about $1250 per year for a new IPv6 assignment and the AS yearly cost is rolled into that. Granted ISP costs will probably be in the ballpark of $150 per month for 2 consumer grade connections and more for business or better connections.
multihomed end users (e.g. generally businesses) are not ISPs they pay only once for the assignment, and annually only $100 in total to maintain their orgid. https://www.arin.net/fees/fee_schedule.html
