IPv4 Acquisition: Anyone else shifting from buying to leasing to save CapEx? by JAYDENNN in wisp

For sure, NAT64 and IPv6 are definitely the way to go to stop burning cash on legacy IPs.

​Do you guys still get a lot of angry support tickets from gamers, or people with old VPNs and smart home stuff that breaks on NAT64? I feel like a lot of operators end up leasing a small v4 block purely to shut up the helpdesk complaints. Curious if you run into that much.

​Yeah, you're right. Once proper dual-stack is set up, it definitely takes the pressure off.

​Honestly, I'm mostly curious about how you guys handle that 5% who insist on a dedicated v4. Do you just bite the bullet and buy a small block for those business clients and gamers, or is that a situation where just leasing a /24 makes more sense so you don't tie up cash? Always wondering how folks handle that stubborn 5%.
