I beleive it is due to hardware upgrade delays, ISP's like making money no

Thanks for the article, it is interesting and makes sense.

 MVDV> As for switching off IPv4, I fear it will be around for a while....

I bought and installed a Netgate firewall / router running pfSense, probably
the best and most useful piece of hardware I bought in a long time. It is able
to do so much, configuring IPV6 should be a nice learning curve when my ISP
finally upgrades.

It has made a big difference in the amount of bad coonections from arouns 1000
to less than 10 a day on my system.
