Good ${greeting_time}, Michiel!

They have some, but offer CGNATed addresses (RFC6598 100.64/10) by default. Possibly a wise idea: the vast majority of users are dumbasses who don't use anything beyond HTTP.

 MvdV> Are they charging for IPv4?

Had you expected anything else from these faggots? :-/

 MvdV> Do new users get DS-Lite or full Dual Stack?

Most connections are IPv4-only, some are dual-stack. Most links are IPoE (standard IP over ethernet, generally 10...100 Mbit/s, sometimes more, IPv6 ready), but there still exist a number of *DSL connections (IPv4-only, no options for IPv6).

 AV>> I guess Russia would be the next :-)
 MvdV> Yeah ;-)

I think I'd one of the first to test it.
