Hello Rick,

That sounds familiar...

Here (Netherlands) network providers supply a "free" modem/router to their
csutomers. Most DSL providers allow customers to use their own but leading
cable provider Ziggo will not allow you to use you own /modem/. One can have
their modem/router set in bridge mode and have one's own router behind it
ithough. However... in that case one has an IPv4 only connection. So more or
less the same situation as in your case. For now I use their modem/router.

A new law that comes into effect in januari forces providers to have customers
use their own equipment after the Network Termination Point. So than I can use
my own modem/router and still have native IPv6. But Ziggo is dragging their
feet and we may see some legal squirmishes before that happens. We will see...


Cheers, Michiel
