DSLite and CGN appears to be a bit risky for certain things and I think a lot of power-users would be more comfortable knowing they have at least one IPv4 address on their own device, even if it is dynamic. Is it possible to get regular dual-stack either using Virgin Media's business plans or any of the DSL providers, either as residential or business customer? Otherwise I might just go for what appears to be the best regular IPv4 service and run IPv6 over VPN until the provider supports it natively. Regards, Daniel
