We did. We wanted a lot and got a /35. Bah. Took me years to change
this into a /32... :-)
In general, I agree with Jeroen, but it's not *that* easy. Most of the
smaller ISPs in Europe will not have more than 30k customers in the
near future - and thus won't be able to justify anything bigger than
a /32 anyway. Those that *do* have more than 30k customers usually
know, and get bigger network blocks, right away (just saw a /26 go to
HanseNet...).
