Worst case, you can always get an IPv6 static /48 from at least one provider without any additional cost. Owen On Nov 22, 2011, at 7:05 AM, Ray Soucy wrote:

What is bewildering to me is that each time the system establishes a new PPPoE session to the ISP they assign a different IPv6 prefix via delegation together with a differing IPv4 address for the WAN.
Is this going to be forward for other consumer ISPs in the world?
As long as a static allocation can be billed as a premium service, most providers will unfortunately do it.
I often hear "if you need a static IP, you need business class server"; bundled with "we don't provide business service to residential customers".
Almost makes one think there ought to be some consumer protection laws regulating it.
