There's nothing to learn here in the end. Its just rules imposed by the ISP. I've had places where the leases expired weekly, and I'd often get a different public IP address when renewed. No amount of learning will change this. If I want out of that, I'd have to pay extra money every month.
I've also had ISPs where I've had the same IPv4 address for years. So long as I was online around the time of the lease renewal, I was pretty much guaranteed to get the same IP. YMMV.

So I can spend $10/mo for each IP address I want, or I can just use IPv6 where my ISP gives me 295,147,905,179,352,825,856 IP addresses (a /60) by default for free. Hmm...which to choose...
- hdgvhicv 2mo agoAn ISP should be giving you a /56. If they are giving you a /60 that the sign of a terrible ISP anyway.
- vel0city 2mo agoNo argument from me here on the /56 vs a /60, I play the cards I'm dealt. AT&T being the same shitbags they've always been. But its multi-gigabit fiber from them or questionable DOCSIS from Spectrum, and I've never met an honest Spectrum representative. I refuse to do business with them after all the fraud they've given me over the years. In the end its still a bajillion-ish IPv6 addresses I have to play with versus the one-ish I have with IPv4.
