My guess: they can do it, but they will not do it. ISPs will prefer to charge extra for anything that results in a static address. Simply because they can do it.
Well, my ISP didn't charge me anything extra for IPv6 or a consistent prefix. In fact, when I changed modems last year, to enable IPv6, my bill (for Internet, TV & home phone) dropped by about $50/month, for pretty much the same services.
You must have some really greedy ISPs there, considering IPv6 addresses are so plentiful.
Indeed. I switched to fibre perhaps two years ago, I don't remember. I'm still paying a concept that is maintenance of the copper pair inside the and outside the house, including terminals - now moot on fibre. I have asked the company to remove that concept from my invoice. They say yes, of course, but a year later and several calls they keep doing it. Similarly for dropping the line from my holiday apartment. Another year and several calls. Yes, they are greedy. Most of the technical staff was fired, and instead they hired commercials. Everything is contracted externally, to people with no responsibility and no love for a well done job. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
