Hello Richard,

Some Belgian providers also seem to change the IPv6 prefix periodically. The policy of my provider (Ziggo) is unclear. It is not periodic anyway. Last time it changed was when there was an unscheduled power failure. The power failure lasted only two hours, but it was in the middle of the night and the power adapter for my cable amplifier did not survive. I only noticed in the mornig and so the cable modem had no signal for six hours.

I am not one of that "some". :-)


Cheers, Michiel
