Sure… You have to maintain the tunnel or they may reassign/reallocate the
address. Here’s the reality of that, however:
1. Unless you care about reaching the customer they reassigned it to from
your network, you don’t care.
2. Using it for ULA in addition to the tunnel isn’t really prohibited by
that. It’s a gray area, I’ll admit.
3. Sure, they can cancel the service at any time, but you get what you pay
for. It saves you $100/year
while it lasts.
