reports from BT care forums a few users have silently been put on CGN.

Carrier Grade Nat

Basically isp sharing ip between 2 or more customers.

From my point of view it seems there needs to be enforcement for better management of ip's and to enforce ipv6 rollout prior to CGN.

The longer ipv6 is out of the mass market the longer it will take for widespread adoption, it seems noone wants to go first and to cap it off the isps in this country appear very short sighted.

I suspect there is £ signs ringing with CGN as well as a isp could make CGN their standard and then charge extra for basic dynamic address's and extra on top of that for static.
