I'm not sure what Teksavvy does, but an ISP is supposed to provide at least a /64 prefix,which provides 18.4 billion, billion addresses. I get a /56 from Rogers, which is 256 times the size of a /64. Since it's available, why not give it a try? That's the direction the world's moving, so no point in hanging back. From: Stewart C.

Since you're with Teksavvy over ADSL, you'll want to get one that supports IPv6.
Yes, it does, and I think that I do have an IPv6 address somewhere. But I've got a static IPv4 address from Teksavvy, and that's about the limit of what I understand/need. (bit of a change from 1992, when as a founding member of the UK's first ISP [Demon] I was assigned a block of addresses larger than most countries could hope to have.) The router's working nicely now, and is just a shade faster than the old one. Shame it's so big - would make a nice cat warmer.
