<br>
Sadly, their fixed IP costs are astronomical even with IPv6, without any justification I can see.<br></blockquote><div>"Because we can" and "Because it's very profitable to charge you a lot for something that costs us almost nothing" and "Because instead of re-evaluating IPv4 policies in IPv6, if I can charge you and you will pay then I will do so" (those are just some examples of corporate thinking....) <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
The question is: should I? Do standard linksys routers support IPv6? Will I be able to get any level of bittorrent bandwidth with my IP unreachable to other peers running IPv4?<br></blockquote><div>Any router that supports decent firmware will support IPv6 (either through the native formware or through openwrt etc)<br></div><div>You will still have to have an IPv4 tunnel, either provided by your at home router (most likely/best scenario) or at your ISP unless you want to disconnect from 90% of the known internet (yes the major sites are on IPv6 so if you limit yourself to google/facebook/amazon etc you can probably stay in the IPv6 only zone...).<br><br></div><div>If you have the IPv4 tunnel it should be fairly transparent to you since you will just be connected to both IPv4 and IPv6.<br><br></div><div>I was not aware that any ISP in Israel had started to offer IPv6 service... maybe you can cajole them into a better rate by telling them you are basically a beta-tester for their new service...<br><br></div><div>Regards,<br>Eliyahu - אליהו<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
