Hi Michiel!

It is the same here.
You can call them, and if you are lucky, they will reconfigure your CPE to v4 only.

 RM>> They asked about RFC6887 (Port Control Protocol) I proposed 1

 MV> I might be willing to pay EUR 1 a month for a public IPv4 address.
 MV> At least for the time being. I would hope that in a couple of years,

 MV> But I fear this will take some more time...

I agree that it will take much more time.

 MV> OTOH, when having the choice, I might try DS-Lite and see how it works
 MV> for me...

I would not want to burden me with that now.
You can get away without IPv6 currently very well.
Most people have v4 only currently around here.
So going DS-Lite is asking for additional trouble ...
I do not want to burden me with that now.

 RM>>  At the moment they do not have either of those options.
 MY> I wonder if PCP is really a viable solution.
 MY> Only one client sharing the same IPv4 address can have port 24554
 MY> forwarded. Which may not be a problem in case of port 24554, but hwat
 MY> about the more popular ports? 80 or 25?

That was exactly my reasoning.
Port 24554 should be no issue ;)
But port 80 will be.
So they again need one public IP per PCP customer.
AND they have huge support issues.
Why not hand out public IPv4 instead?

 MV>>> My guess is that this may become an option in the future. I
 MV>>> don't think I'd want to pay more than EUR 5 or EUR 10 a month
 MV>>> for an IPv4 address. Above that I'd give DS-Lite a try.
 RM>> This would be waaaaaay out of it for me.
 MV> So if you had the choice of accepting DS-Lite and paying an extra EUR
 MV> 2 a month, you'd accept DS-Lite?

??? Why would I pay more for a weaker service??
I would be willing to pay to EVADE DS-Lite ;)

Or do you mean pay 1 EUR to get a /56 IPv6 address?
Propbably yes, but only because I am a geek.
