Well... I do have a /26 IPv4 from my provider and a /48 IPv6. Also I don't currently make use of them via VPN I did so in the past or might do so again in the future. Basically it would also be an option to switch to another DSL provider and have my VLAN with both IPv4 and IPv6 from my colocation provider to my home via DSL.
And that's really something I do consider for the next years...

Ingo
