Did you know this needed to be done previously? Or did something tip you off that Ziggo was indeed rolling out IPv6 but you were unable to utilize it?

Our cable company also goes by this method. Although I do think we're allowed to buy our own modems. With the ease of them providing one for you, you don't ever feel the need to do so until you actually analize your bill and see how much you've paid for the same modem in rent over the last 2-3 years. I could have easily bought and paid for a couple already.

Understood. It's pretty surprising that they didn't notice that modem had already been registered by someone else. Even if you used your own activation codes, they should still be able to see by the serial number or something along those lines. That said, the benefit goes to you! :)

That's what matters in the end.

As you will, I'm sure. Sometimes it seems like the people working on introducing IPv6 at the providers know about as much if not less about it than we do. I was told I'd get an email (along with everyone else) letting me know when IPv6 was functional. Well, still no email.. but I've been using native IPv6 for some time already.
While I'm a bit jealous, I would rather pass on that for awhile in trade for age. I have at least another 20 years to go before retirement, and would rather it not happen all that fast. :)
Regards, Nick
