> In other words, there are enough IPv4 addresses that I can get a block of 5 static IPv4 addresses, but CANNOT pay for a static IPv6 block. What's the limit / issue with giving me a static IP prefix if I'm willing to pay? Seriously... > I feel like proponents of Ipv6 have not actually tried to use it at the consumer / prosumer / small business level. Have the same issues. I solely blame my ISP for it, not IPv6. They still think IPv6 is like v4, but with extra addresses. A little bit off topic (but might be an option if you are a really dedicated prosumer guy or a business it sysadmin) but you can get static IPv6 Prefixes from Internet Registries and announce them yourself over BGP. You can buy prefixes from Securebit.ch, for example. My shitty ISP gives me a static v6, but only a single subnet (/64 Prefix). I even tried getting the business package, but even then they would only give me a /60 prefix, which isn't enough for me. Now I have a whole /44, of which i will never even use 5% of.
