Back in 2009 when I asked my ISP for a fixed range, they asked "what would you like?" which kindof threw me.
How much do you pay for your connection?
Back then - I really don't remember, I would have to dig out some very old books. It wasn't anything special, just regular 6Mbit ADSL. There was an additional cost for the small IPv4 range, a /30 a subnet I think. I think I probably paid something between 50 and 100 per month.
Whatever (European) currency it is,
Those were Swiss Francs.
it is an order of magnitude more than I pay for my connection. No wonder my ISP is not interested in investing anything beyond absolutely necessary. Nor would I be willing to pay that much for the questionable benefit of having multiple unused networks :)
These days in Switzerland, a 10Gbit internet connection can be for 60-70/month, which is pretty much what people pay for their mobile phone subscriptiona (those that travel a bit). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.5°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
