Hello Andrew,

Why not just ask them?

That, or they are resetting their systems for maintenance or taking care of child diseases. Maybe the IPv6 part of their network is still a bit unstable.

If it is indeed to discourage running servers, I predict it will not be effective. People have found work arounds for dynamic IPv4 adresses. Similar methods will emerge for IPv6 if ISPs are making a habit of it.

Cheers, Michiel
