They state that for IPv6, open a ticket stating how many you want.

I said something like "at least one, why not a /64?".

This is what I got, maybe I should've been more precise but basically 
just a couple are fine for my purposes.

One or two for each domain I host with them gets the job done.

May revisit this in the future though.

Yeah, I thought so.

Initially I thought I had 5×64k, later I thought it was just 64k 
addresses, now I think it's just 5 IPv6 addresses.

Is that correct?



Would be nice to have IPv6 at home to play with a bit, but not something 
TekSavvy offers on cable internet.


Thanks Craig
