Same here. Although how much of "a lot" it costs more depends on the  
speed and other extras that you wish to have.
Basically a 50 MBit/s (downstream) / 10 MBit/s (upstream) is around
40 EUR/month for consumers and around 52 EUR/month for business  
customers.

Same here. The IPv6 connection for my BBS also had problems on friday  
because Dynv6 'forgot' the AAAA record that I've configured - but it  
seems to be a known problem. Maybe I rewrite the update script (and  
recreate the AAAA record on every prefix change) or switch to my own  
dyndns solution...

And in the near future, my BBS will also be down due to a Synchronet  
update...

That's true, indeed.

Regards,
Anna
