MvV> Hmm.. I see that I should have been more specific than "they" in the MvV> 2nd sentence of the quote above.
Yes, had we been conversing in person, I would have asked for clarification of which "they" you mentioned. :)
MvV> I was talking about my ISP. Here there is just one ISP on the cable. MvV> That is the "they" I meant above. But there also is xDSL available on MvV> the old copper from the POTS era. On the old POTS copper one has a MvV> choice of about a dozen ISPs. Albeit at lower speed...
That was the situation with cable here, but with the HFC networks in Australia (No HFC around my location anyway)
MvV> My first cable modem was a Motorola Surfboard. Indeeed just a bridge MvV> after which I had my own router. The modem was on loan from the ISP,
I can't remember what my first cable modem was, but the second one was a Surfboard. Both were bridges.
MvV> the router was my own. Now "they" only have modems with a build in MvV> router. They do not sell them, you get them on loan.
I'm not sure exactly what the arrangement was when I had cable. Yes, they "supplied" the modem, but I can't recall the exact arrangement. All I know is when I had to upgrade, it was like "turn everything off, swap modems, wait 5 minutes and then restart everything - oh, and throw the old modem away...".
MvV> Most xDSL providers have the same or a similar policy. Some of them MvV> even offer full stack native IPv6.
Yep. :)
MvV> The reason I stay with the cable is that they have an attractive "all MvV> in one" offer. TV + Telephone + internet. With much more bandwith than MvV> xDSL.
Yeah, I don't do cable TV, even when I was on the cable - I never found it good value. Netflix is the first subscription service I've found worth paying for, for TV.
MvV> No fiber in this area... And no IPv6 on any of the mobile providers...
I'm not aware of any mobile providers with IPv6 here either. :(
