until you back up your WILD claim of '$2 - $5 per ip + a comcast ipv6 mo' i'll call it FUD. with the shear number of IP addresses that IPv6 provides, i don't see a reason why they would charge money for having multiple ip addresses or static addresses. IPv6 has a mind numbingly large number of addresses, being up tight about them is just silly along with charging to have multiple/static. I'd artificially limit residential to a couple hundred, as most residential networks are still under 10 internal addresses used. |

There are soooo many IPv6 addresses available, that we could literary assign about a BILLION IPv6 addresses to each individual on earth, and still have so many addresses left to hook up about a 100 alien planets with similar populations as earth, and give all of THEM each a billion IP addresses.
To put it in numbers, there are:
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456
combinations possible with IPv6.
As for reality: I saw an article some time ago of a Dutch ISP offering IPv6 connections already, and supplying 4096 IP addresses with it, and not costing much more (if any more cost at all) than a regular DSL connection.
Once ISP's go IPv6, you probably get a few thousand addresses for free, for you to use however you please.
