I think an important question would be what level of service are they buying. Including 255 address with a T3 would be very reasonable, less so with a T1, not very reasonable with DSL, and ridiculous with a dial-up account.
How is usage need in any way related to circuit size? This kind of allocation policy amazes me.
Hmm I dont know, its a guide if nothing else..
A dialup that can justify a /24 is no different than an OC3 customer who can't. Each customer should (only) get the space they can justify, and circuit size is not a justification.
Really? So a customer who claims to need a /24 on a dialup doesnt suggest to you that they're wrong or at least worthy of further investigation before you assign it? We expect certain requests from certain types of account and anything above that gets looked at. I believe this is a good position between wasting time on end user IP assignments and handing out a limited resource too freely. Steve
