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.
