I can have a look.
I heartily recommend it.
At the moment I just have basic FTTC with a single static IPv4 address.
A domestic FTTH would cost less than half what I am paying now.
If I end up with a dynamic IPv6 address block my system would need to
automatically confirm the current prefix frequently. I could route everything
through an external static address or domain, but would need to pay extra for
the data transfer, so it may be cheaper to pay around five or more times the
domestic price for a basic commercial connection.
I am well past retirement and not running a business, so am reluctant to pay a
premium when RIPE.net say that there is no shortage of IPv6 addresses, and
providers should always supply a static address block.
Sometimes I for one find that I need to find a way to drive-around
them.........
For what it's worth, I retired in 2006 (mind, I still don't know what I
want to do when I grow-up;-) )
I am not responsible for the current general lack of education, and do not
consider it to be a valid reason why it should hinder future progress when IT
and computing are now a part of the curriculum. Yes, many kids are more
capable than their parents, and would like to do more than I can dream of.
